Promoting the care and welfare of rats as pets

Just ordered my first SRS and a perspex tray for the base.....can't wait

Thanks for all of the dimensions and tips on the thread! I have gone with the 5mm under as Feline suggested to make it a little easier to get it in and out. Will update the thread if it leaves too much of a gap but hoping it will be fine.

Exciting times I'll be interested to know where you ordered from, Rose and how happy you are with the accuracy of their cutting, measurements etc.

I too am looking to make new trays for my Explorer. Ive had the perspex ones for years, like 8 years or something, and I decided to bin and replace them during my recent house move as they were getting on a bit and a refresh is always nice.
I had considered just using fleece or correx for a while but since Im renting for now I best knock up some new proper bases !

Can anyone tell me the approx price you paid for the precut Perspex pieces to make these trays for an SRS? I live in Sweden and am looking to buy the perspex for one. However the total cost appears to be extortionate (not sure why I am surprised as everything is expensive here......). A price in £ would be useful for me to compare. Thanks!
