The bars are spaced almost 1" x 2" apart so I think it would depend on the size of the rat.

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. :)

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

Hi, I bought this item thinking it was a cage as well, but it is only the shelves for it!

Maybe? How big are these rats!? The platforms are actually slippery so you may have to line them with something that they can grab onto. Hope this helps :)

I have this cage with one full grown male rat and he seems happy. He's not real active so he doesn't need a lot of room, we call it a retirement cage :) I have two baby girl rats and they're very active and I have them in a three story cage where they have more room to climb. Hope that helps!

Sorry to answer you so late. This is what happens when I subscribe to too many newsletters: I stop reading all my email! Yes, I do think a rat could fit inside. It would be a cozy fit, but they probably like that, I imagine.

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.

Personally, I wouldn't keep a rabbit in it. It's just too small...even for the smallest of bunnies. A bunny wouldn't have any room. This cage is ideal for degus, rats, hamsters...small furries mostly. I hope this helps!

This would be a great cage for two rats. This is the cage my two rats currently live in. I've actually taken out both the top and bottom ramps because they like to jump from level to level. You may need to keep the ramps in if they are young or old, however.

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.

I have never had rats but this is a nice cage that's easy to clean, easy to take apart & put together and easy to open & close. I'm sure it would be great! It's bigger than the cages at pet stores. I would highly recommend it.

I don't see why not,depending on how big your rats are,this is kind of a small play pen,maybe more suited for hamsters.I have two guinea pigs & it's a bit too small for them & my one pig likes to chew on the mat which may be unsafe.But for travel...I think this might be good enough.

Yes I do because my two rats love their new 'MANSION'. You may have to readjust the shelves a bit but it won't affect the fact that this cage is huge. I may need to add another rat to the group:)

I would sat yes, but is think the cage is too big for a mouse. Better for a rat. A hamster cage is best for a mouse

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.

Yes, this is very nice size for two smaller rats. Might be a bit small for large rats. The dimensions are listed. However, my rats have a rat mansion with rat butlers and a recreation room with private bathrooms and a dining hall.

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.

Not big enough for three baby rats. Two would be pushing it, that is if you don't intend to put in a wheel. I actually have two of these cages, good condition. If you are interested, I'll give you more detail.

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.
