Is this a good cage for two 8 month old rats? Will they squeeze out of the bars? Thanks!

I don't think they can get out. The cage is so easy to clean you would love it

Yes it's a HUGE cage...it's enough to keep a small litter in without a doubt...won't tip over. it comes with 8 rails; I broke my down to 4 because it was too big for my pit. I have a 21 pound 4 month old & it's still big enough to fit one more of her. It will slide on anything that's not carpet or dirt once they get heavy enough to jump fully onto cage. But I'm 5'6 and it comes about to my chest so my dog can't jump over it.

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 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 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.

The bar spacing is very close. You shouldn't have a problem with baby rats.

This is a very large cage. A hamster would be able to escape through the widely spaces bars. I'd look for something smaller with a tighter grid :)

The rat "rule" is 2 cubic space per rat, so I would say that cage is much too small. I had this cage and used it as a travel cage for my two females when they would go to the vet. It might be pricier, but a large multi level cage is better. I found a few that, if I still had rats, I would use:Super Pet My First Home for Exotics, LargeKaytee My First Home Deluxe Multi-Level Pet Home with CastersMore info: http://www.rat-care.com/housing.html

Yes, I keep my 2 large male pet rats in it and they love the cage. I put a couple pieces of wood in it too to make levels for them.

I used this as a good travel cage if they were going to and from the vet for example but I would not use this as a primary cage, its definitely not big enough (especially if you have two rats, which is good because the are social). A good cage size to look for would be the petco rat manor. The rat manor enclosure does have wire than can be sharper (especially as it ages) in some places so I just cut little blankets to put over the wire and it worked perfect. It also is fairly easy to clean too. For just a bit more you get a way better enclosure.

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

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 one of these and my full grown rats cannot fit thru. The spacing is about an inch.

It depends how big she is. I can fit two fingers vertically in the spacing of the bars. If your rat is tiny, I would say no. You know how easily they can get out of stuff to begin with :)

A pair of rats would do wonderfully in here. I've used one of these for several years. The only thing I'd warn about is very small rats can squeeze through the bars. The spacing is about 7/8". There is a Kaytee brand cage with the same dimensions but narrower bars if you have a small rat. Normal adult rats should be fine, I just happened to have an extra small girl who liked to wander.

Depends on how big the rats are. Guinea pigs won't be able to get through the bars, but if we're talking about snake food, I'd suggest getting a fish tank to keep them in.
