Would a rat like to climb on this?

I work with rodents - biggest issue you will have is that a rat would shred that to pieces - the rope and wood would be gone pretty quickly. Rodents like to either run on a wheel or hide and move inside plastic tubes etc.

Absolutely!! We took out our ramps and replaced them with these to make bridges all over the cage. Fantastic and sturdy product.

yes! my fancy mice can climb on it easily. I'm going to buy another I'm fact! it's nicely made and is quite stable:)

I suspect they might. I do not have rats but my sister has a small squirrel andI've had some friends with rats--they would love chewin on it, certainly!If they're small, the spacing might be difficult--but it's still a nice bridge toy.

It is very large. It's about 2 feet long and the wood pieces are perhaps 6 inches across. It was too big for my uses.

The gap between the bars is about 3/4 inch. Seems it would have to be a very skinny and nimble rat to escape. Plenty of room; ours houses a chincilla

I have two small tame rats in mine at the moment, both are female and under a year old. They get along great(they weren't from the same litter either). It could probably fit 2 medium rats as well but they wouldn't have a lot of room to run around in. The food bowl is in the top which is good because it gives them a lot of room to run around on the bottom if you don't put any extra habitats in or anything. You could probably even get a rat hammock and hang it in the opposite corner of the cage from the food.

I think you could do so; however, it will be important to make sure you assemble it very carefully. We found that our top was not completely secure, and hamsters are great at getting out of things!

I suppose it would work for rats as well as mice. Seems like you have large mice there :)

They probably can. My ratties just jumped and climbed out of it. If it was higher, they probably wouldn't have gotten out. I even duct-taped the two holes shut and they still got out. XD Little trouble makers. Since guinea pigs are bigger, they might like it. I've never had a guinea pig, though.

Possibly. There is a lip/overhang around the top which could make it more challenging to climb out of. Also the legs might make it more stable (my cousin has a son who tips the pack n plays over...in order to escape)

Yes, it is. the tubes are wider than they look.. actually I think a dwarf hamster would have trouble climbing these tubes. There's also a special habitral ovo for dwarf hamsters which has narrower tubes

I think this cage would be ok for a rat but you probably wouldn't need one as tall as the one I purchased only problem might be cleaning because you have to take the top part off other than that a very good cage

You could use this to block off an area from the rats (power cords, vents, under the bed, etc.), but our two rats can jump over this fence - no problem. Rats are great climbers & can easily clear 9" in a jump.

Yes, and move it around and put the bottom on the ground so its not hooked to the cage, but my rats have never gotten their tail or anything stuck in it for two years and love it! Good luck!

I would say "no", our hamster is a bit of a pudge and I wonder if he will get stuck at times!

Probably. I returned the item because it was poorly made and one of my ratties received a large cut that required stitches from a wire on the cage. I think you are better off going to Petsmart and looking at their selection of cages. The lower prices here (for me) are not worth my rats' safety.

Rats are extremely smart so this cage will probably not do. My ferret can open the door now so we have to set a weight in from of it now. I can also imagine a rat maneuvering the removable tray or even chewing through it to escape.

So sorry didn't answer sooner been very busy. Yes I would say you could house your rats in this condo, wires are spaced close enough, but you'll need to put cover over upper tier so their feet won't be damaged. They should have ball with all the room. Good luck & have fun.

Probably not. A rat could chew the bottom plastic pan and possibly squeeze out at the gap where it slides in

Yes, I think squirrels could climb out on it. I don't know of anything that is squirrel proof! It is very sturdy. I really like it because you can position it in many directions.
