Method and scope
Geometric volume in m³ = internal length × width × height in cm ÷ 1,000,000. Divide by entered rat count for volume per rat.
Geometry and a product-chart comparison do not establish the suitability of housing or equipment. Check applicable species guidance, usable dimensions and actual fit separately.
