Could I use this cage for my Rats, I have four Rats, two male, two female. Could I put in ramps in the cage, because I don't see any?

There are ample ramps and ladders included that would make it perfect for rats. I lovw the age and so do my babies...lol

This cage wouldn't be good for chins, trust me. Maybe one if you like seeing a animals in small places.. But for two is defiantly out of the question if you ask me. As far as rats go.. I have two in this cage right know. And they chewed threw three basis.. I finally had to think of something new for the bottom. Honestly.. I would not wast your money.. Save up alittle more and get something you will not regret getting

We have 4 male fancy rats. They fit when they were babies and now as adults as well. There is enough space for all of them. They have room to jump and play.

No reason it would be difficult for them to get around. I had 4 males in it and worked perfect. Not good for young rats/babies or females, easy to escape through the bars... I had that happen before I had males in it.

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.

There are LOTS of access doors at many levels on this cage that I clipped shut. A very clever rat or in my case "starlings" can figure those out quickly, there are perches but no levels for them, if you are creative and can make them the habitrail tunnels looping around the cage for example, it would be extremely roomy and nice for them to play and live in. There are two large doors for feeding etc, so you could assemble a pretty neat living area for them. Just remember to clip shut the doors you don't want them to open. I love this cage, but you WILL need a helper for assembly, Once it's up though it's on wheels and easily manuevered around and sturdy. I love mine.

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.

Goodness NO! I bought this cage based on the Q & A and was disappointed! My green cheeks are currently each in their own 20x24x34.5 cage. They are active and need the space. In my opinion fork out the extra 50 bucks and get something bigger.

the ferret nation is not good for rats. The bar spacing is to far apart and depending on the age and size of the rat, it may escape. You will need a critter nation cage for rats. I have the 2 story cage and I have 6 females in it. It works fine.

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. :)

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 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!

If it's a temporary cage, yes. Otherwise way too small for even one rat on a long term basis.

It is very small for a rat. I bought this for my syrian hamster, and its almost to small for him. Rats need multi level cages. The bigger the better for them.

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

Yes!!! As a former breeder of rats, this cage would be perfect for them!! The space is great and there's no possible way for them to bite thru the steel bars.

Yes, small enough spacing intended for rats. I use this cage for our teddy bear hamster. No chance of him squeezing through! :)
