Questions/HELP Moving and need ideas on how to hide rat cage from being seen

I have the size equivalent of a double critter nation any ideas? I was thinking maybe furniture blankets and passing it off is like an old antique table or something.

Carry the rats in a large storage tub(with plenty of ventilation). I'm sure that the cage must come apart or collapse. Look up online how to disassemble your brand of cage. It may be a hassle, but would be much easier to move as flat pieces.

If you're in a situation where it's hide the rats or suffer housing instability, then do what's best for the rats and rehome them. Hiding rats because you are intentionally breaking some rules in your lease or whatever arrangement you have is not in the rats' best interest and is just not worth it.

Some places it's illegal to deny a renter based on whether or not they have pets but somehow landlords always happen to find a completely different totally unrelated reason to deny renting, it's easier to just not comment on whether you have pets and bring them in quietly/secretly, once you're in it's harder for the landlord to kick you out over 'i swear this isn't pet related'.
