How wide are the gaps between the bars? I have a tiny puppy and I'm afraid he might squeeze through!

2 inches between the bars. You might have an issue with the ends depending on the width of your door. Best gate for chihuahuas!

The gap between the bars is about 3/4 inch. Seems it would have to be a very skinny and nimble rat to escape. Plenty of room; ours houses a chincilla

The individual bar spacing is very narrow. You could fit your finger through the space, but that's about it. Our bunny did try to dig underneath, but the bars had no problem keeping him in otherwise.

Roughly 3-inches. No more. You can barely pass a tennis ball between the bars. Our 7-lb mini schnauzer doesn't even come close to fitting through.

The padded part is 13.5 inches but there are 2 inch gaps on the side so the space between the bars is 17.5 inches.

The gaps are about 2.5 inches at any given point. The widest one is slightly more, the thinnest is slightly less. So it depends how rotund or inventive Mr. Kitty is! You could maybe screw some garden wire-mesh stuff into the gate if he's a very little guy.

Patricia , Don't know about the fit .But don't waste your $$$ on this piece of crap ! The dogs go under ,around, Over and through it . Take my advice and spend your $$$ on stand up bars or sturdy wire mesh . I have tried most of what is out there and The bars work best and are very easy to put up and take out ,no tools needed .

It's about an inch between the bars. DO NOT buy this for any size hamsters. Hamsters can squeeze into spaces the size of their skull, which is why this is meant for guineas and rabbits. My hamster escaped this and he's a huge Syrian fancy bear hamster. Petco and petsmart sell rat cages that are almost the size of this with smaller bar spacing. I bought that for my hammy and it works perfectly. Good luck!

The bars in the center gate itself varies a little from about 2 to 2 2/16", the bars in the extension are about 1 1/2 inches apart and the space between the center gate and side extension is 2 1/2".Hope that helps!

Space wise, yes it should work. HOWEVER, a small pet (my puppy) escaped thru the 4 1/2 inch space at the bottom, where the base of the crooked bar attaches to the extra piece. I would not recommend this gate for small pets at all. I had to block my with acrylic sheets.

The spacing betwteen the bars is 2 1/4" to 2 1/2". we use the gate to limit our cats access to part of the house.

The openings between the grate lines are 1/4"; from top dead center of one grate line to the other top dead center is 1/2". I have 3 small dogs from 7 to 10 pounds, none of them would use this item, even if we placed them on it they would run as soon as you let them go. They would however use the floor next to it. After every trick and continuous encouragement we gave up.

I haven't put it together yet, but I took out some of the parts to measure the spacing for rats I'll be getting soon... The bars I checked are JUST under 1/2 inch spacing. I hope that helps :)

The space between the bars may be too wide for a hamster; they are about 1 inch apart, so he may be able to squeeze through them & get out.

The holes are not big, I have a chihuahua and he does not fit through them.

The bar gap is 2.5 inches at maximum. They can be smaller depending on the size of the space it is installed in due to the adjustment.

Stuart the bars are about 2in wide, no wider than that. I used my bars for a large cargo top carrier and they worked great.
