would it hold 3 rats for 1 and 1/2 weeks

Probably if there small. But not for a long road tirp. I'm not sure how big baby rats are. But it can hold a small Guinea pig for a small trip to the vet. If that helps with comparison.

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

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.

It's cute in theory however, the opening that attaches to the cage leaves a ledge for climbing on. My gerbils have actually escaped this pen a couple of times but I was nearby to put them back in but I would say if your rats are really good climbers then no this is not the best purchase. If they are very small and have a short arm reach then this would work just fine for you. If it weren't for that one spot this would have been a perfect purchase. You might could cover it with packaging tape so they have nothing to grap ahold of.... Just a thought. Good luck.

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

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.

I have 2 rats in it currently and have had ferrets before(not in this cage). I really do not think that would work very well. Its pretty small for a ferret and not sure if the platforms would even support the weight.....

Noah, it depends on how large your rat is. I recently put my two finches in it so that I could take them to the vet to get their nails clipped, and they went right through the slats of the cage. If your rat is good sized, it would make a good "weekend home."--plenty of room in this cage.

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.

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.

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:)

it would probably work for 2 or 3 but as they grow they will out grow its size if more than one attempts to use it at the same time. i use it for my rabbit which gives her more than enough room.

Yes, it is safe for rats. 1 drop the size of a grain of rice, once a week for 2/3 weeks.

I would say the space between bars is an inch and half. I don't think a rat would fit.

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.

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

I have never had a rat for a pet, but my first guess it that it would not be suitable for a rat. I would expect a rat cage to have bars closer together. Perhaps it could work if the rat is already full grown. I'm not sure how small a space a rat can fit through.
