Will this work for pet rats?

if you will use the cage for pet rats, get the critter nation cage NOT the ferret nation. The bar spacing is to wide on the ferret nation cage and they can get out depending on the size of the rat.

If your rats were large, it shouldn't be a problem, but the spacing of the bars is a little too big for little patties!

Yes, it works for mice and rats. You have to make sure it's set to the rodent setting and leave it plugged in all the time. It takes a few weeks to work, but it does work. We had both mice and rats coming in the house. I haven't seen or heard any evidence of either in weeks now.

Did not use it for this purpose... Only used outdoors for rabbits... Don't know how it would work for rats.

Sorry, never had rats, and don't know if it would work on them or not. Maybe contact manufacturer

When I received this product it was smaller than tiny. Pet rats are pretty smart. I believe that they would figure a way out pretty quickly. I would not recommend this product for any animal. Only maybe for a small hermit crab. Good luck to you and your pet rats if you buy this!!

It's specifically designed for mice. The opening that the mice enter is small so I doubt a rat, unless it was a baby, could enter. You might check to see if Victor has similar traps for rats. Are you sure you have rats and not just full grown mice? Some we've caught are pretty big.

I have had this product for several years and it still works on rats & mice. I have the bucket of packs. I won't do without it and do not use those others! Good luck!

It works on mice, but not for rats. I think they have one formalated for rats, tho. Look at the website. That's the best I can offer.

Ask a vet before using anything on a pet rat. It's good for dogs... but might hurt a rat.

No. A mouse would like this, but it is too small for a rat. I've had rats as pets; even a young rat would not find this suitable.

Rats are rodents and ferrets are not. I would get something specified for rats.

Yes, this works for Rats, according to our previous experience, but we caught small Rats only ( not longer than 4 inches )

Hi, I don't know if it works for rats. My problem is with very smart field mice. There are several web sites that give good advice for rodent problems. I will say I did try a mole sonic device in the ground near my problem area. This is suppose to work for all rodents. It did not work. Maybe you would have better luck. Hope you find an good idea that works. Good luck

I think it would depend on how big your rats our. My female rat is still a baby but she Is the only one in the cage. But yes it should be fine for 2 rats

Yes, probably would work for mice or rats, question is if mice are heavy enough to drop the doors, but I would venture to guess they would and the mesh wire is small enough to keep all but the most tiny in the trap.

No it probably won't. My small rat who is bigger than a gerbil can squeeze out of it.

It should be good for rats, as they are similar in size to the squirrels that we use the trap on. I think mice might be a little small though.
