Is this cage big enough to house 2 rats?

Definitely! I keep four girls and that is the max amount you can keep in this cage comfortably. This cage is PLENTY big enough for just two.

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 think this cage would be fine for a max of two. We currently use this as a home for our Guinea Pig. It is the perfect size for her & allows her the room she needs with food dish, toys, etc. The deep walled removable bottom makes cleaning so easy too. For more than two rats, especially if they are adult - it also depends on their adult size. I would look for a much larger multi level cage to allow them a comfortable home. Rats like to travel & are very smart - larger cages allow them to move about & can be configured to "challenge" their minds. I've read several sites that recommend 2 sq feet per rat.

No...unless it's a baby. This cage is good for hamsters, gerbils, rats, etc., as long as they are adults. I had new hatch bantam chicks in mine, and the bar spacing was sufficient to keep those tiny birds inside.

I would think so, but I do not know what the space needs are for rats. We are using it for a hamster, but it's actually a rat cage.

This cage is definitely large enough for two parakeets...I currently keep a mated pair of cockatiels in mine. Tis larger than you think.

I use this cage as a permanent home for one syrian hamster. I don't think this would be large enough for two male rats for 2-3 weeks.

I would think this cage would be perfect. It's hard to say for sure without seeing your daughter's rat, but it would have to be really small for the space between the bars to be an issue. It's a fantastic cage, so I would definitely give it a shot.

Yes- we have 2 rats and when we first got them they were really small and still could not fit through the wires. It's been a great cage- can fit lots of boxes for them to chew on, and hang toys. We purchased it because they would chew through the plastic on their other cage- and get out.

I have had several rats over the years and I would definitely recommend a bigger enclosure if they are more than a few months old or an older rat that needs smaller space to help getting around. Rats are very active and need quite a bit of space. If you are looking for a bigger enclosure I would recommend the petco rat manor habitat. They go on sale a lot, either here or on petco's webpage/store so its not that much more and way better. Warning though, as the cage ages the wire can pop up and be a little sharp, but its easy to fix, just bend down and put a small blanket on the wire and you are good to go.

Hi, thank you for your question and Yes! I have two that are now full size and they have plenty of room to cuddle and be on different levels as well. This cage is so worth the money, easy to clean and has not given me any problems since I have had it. Go for it!

I would not recommend it for rats. I had a baby chinchilla in this cage about 4 months old and he walked right through the bars. I ended up having to buy him a different cage. The cage was also much taller than I anticipated. the ladders from floor to floor have quite a space between them also.

It's a very sturdy cage and for sure large enough for 2 guinea pigs. This cage is well worth the money and would be a good buy.

I don't see why they wouldn't be. I keep my hamster in this cage and there is a ton of room for him. I can't see why two rats wouldn't be really comfortable in this cage.

It will be fine as a temporary cage for babies, however once they about 2-3 month old I would be sure to move them as this would be far too small. One inch spaced bars aren't recommended for female rats- they are smaller than males, even when full grown, and could easily slip out. I would recommend covering the cage you have with the one inch spacing with some hardware cloth (found at home improvement stores), then you can put even the babies in it and avoid having to buy this cage at all.

They would have a ton of room...but the bars are an inch wide so im not sure if that is too wide if they could squeeze through the bars but I know alot of people use it for rats. I have 3 full grown ferrets in mine with the addition and they have TONS of room..

I think it would be fine for two gerbils - my only issue is that there is not space for a little "house" for our rat to use - they like to have some place to hide and make their nest
