Is this cage suitable for two male rats?

I have heard many rat enthusiasts say that rats can fit through anything larger than half an inch... and this is 7/8s... so I would believe that anything smaller than an adult male could easily escape. That is my concern for my 3 females ... anybody experienced that with this cage????

Yes, I have 14 in mine. Two males two females and the babies.. But if you house rats in it you have to fix the floor with the tiles you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot. THe wire is spaced too far for their feet

No. Rats are designed to fit through small spaces. But this ad isn't for the cage, it's for a set of shelves. The shelves are made out of plastic. Rats chew on plastic. Better to buy a cage designed for rats. We loved our rats, when we had them, but like most rodents, they are escape artists. :)

I have 2 full grown male rats in mine, they have plenty of space and love it. Happy boys :) Just let them out to play every now and then.

I loved this cage for my ferrets. I only had two of them and it worked great. I know that rats chew quite a bit, and wonder if they would chew on the plastic parts. Aside from that it should work great for one or two.

Yes, My 2 rats love this cage! Very easy to clean and use large running wheel. I reccommend this cage.

Yea there is a lot of space. My cat got out of the cqge with all of the doors locked and closed. This cage is way too big for rats. I wish I would have chosen a different brand for my "kids"! Hope this helps.

It's so small, not sure and my thoughts are, it's probably not a good fit for multiple hamsters, but could be okay for small mice (but I don't know if I'm qualified to answer this) ... this cage was a lot smaller than I realized when I purchased.

It depends on how big your rats are. I have two female rats who are about 5-6 months old and while there is still plenty of room I am already planning on getting a larger cage for them. They aren't cramped by any means, but in another few months they will need something larger to be able to exercise and play in. My suggestion, if they are smaller plan on this cage to keep them up to 1 year of age, then it will be time to move into a bigger cage.

I love this cage! I would not have any other cage. Go for it. My ferret's love it. It is for ferret's chinchilla's and pet rat's.

Bars are not too far apart for a rat, I would definitely recommend this cage.

Mice should be fine in this cage. It is a very nice cage we have two of them.

I have never owned Ferrets before. But, this is a pretty big cage. I had 2 Rats in it with plenty of room. My guess is it would be big enough for one Ferret.

I have a rat terrier and a Westie and they both fit comfortably in this cage with room to spare. You could probably go one size smaller. This is a pretty large crate.

My daughter's male rats are two months old and both fit in there quite nicely.... they are cozy in it. One of them LOVES this thing... the other rat doesn't seem to like it as much. They like the ladder part. However, when full grown? I don't think they will fit. I will try to update my answer when we get to that stage. I recommend lining it with fleece or paper towels so you can clean it out easier.

Well I didn't even get the cage that's pictured. I'm sure the one they sent me is a little bigger. It's pretty big, even for my two rats. You may want to try finding something a little smaller, unless you want a huge cage.

A pair of rats would do wonderfully in here. I've used one of these for several years. The only thing I'd warn about is very small rats can squeeze through the bars. The spacing is about 7/8". There is a Kaytee brand cage with the same dimensions but narrower bars if you have a small rat. Normal adult rats should be fine, I just happened to have an extra small girl who liked to wander.
