Would this be big enough for two rats?

Maybe 2 small females. I used it for my 3 girls when they were very young but I moved them to a larger cage after several months.

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.

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

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.

Probably not big enough for two full grown rats. After an average size running wheel is put in cage there isn't tons of room.

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.

Yes I have two rats in mine and they fit fine....I have mine over a aquarium

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.

I think it might be a little large for rats, there are some spaces in the cage, particularly above the door where the rats may be able to get out. I can fit my (flat) hand through the space above the door, so I'd be a bit worried that may be enough room for a mischievous rat to squeeze through.

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.

I just use this size for my 2 rats for transportation or when I take them out of town with me on visits. My 2 rats live in a large two story cage.

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.

I think it would, I actually originally bought it for my kids pet guinea pigs. I am sure it would work for rats too.

Yeah, I had my three rats in it when they were little but you will definitely need a bigger cage when they start to grow, it's a long cage but its not very tall

A full size cat I would say no. Anything the size of a rat or a little larger could get in it. I have cats around my house and have had no problems.

Yes. Too small for a pet rat. Works for our gerbils, but would be too tight for anything bigger.

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 bought mine for my rats and on my bigger rat, it was too small but for my smaller rat it was too big. So for a hamster I would see if they have an extra small

Yes, absolutely. It is heavy enough that they could crawl all over it and it would not move an inch. The legs of the stand have rubber its so it doesn't slip around and the bowels in themselves are stoneware so very think and heavy. Never thought about rats before, it would be really cute!

Personally I feel this will not work for rat. I have a Syrian hamster and once she got full size 6-8 inches I felt like it was the perfect size. If your rat is larger than that I wouldn't recommend it due to the health issues it could acquire.

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 am not an expert but I have two rats in the cage in so far there should be enough space for one hamster
