Hi L - this 1025 cage is just the right trap for rats, once inside they can't escape, the side walls are made of wire mesh that are too small for any rat even the smallest one, to escape. I have ordered one a couple of years ago and this summer I have ordered another one since I see an increase of rat activities in my yard. Don't expect to catch the older rats, they are too smart for this but I do catch young ones daily and actually this is what I want to catch .... the future generations.I never measured the size of the wire mesh but it is just right for such animals, I suspect that you have bought a cage that is not for rats but for bigger animals.

That depends on the size of trap that was bought. Did he get a trap for ground squirrels , moles etc. That trap has small spacing of the bars. He must of got a trap for skunks, ground hogs etc.The larger the trap, the wider the bar spacing The bar spacing is much wider on larger traps

L. Cleveland: The space between bars on this trap are one inch wide and 1/2 inch high on both sides and the bottom.

The one that I purchased has wire spacing of 1/2 x 1. I use it to rid the yard of chipmunks. None have escaped through the wire mesh.

Do not kow.My bar is 4 inches around. Maybe you might need a different model.

The bars are very narrowly spaced. We just got two baby rats after one of our girls died (we now have four females in the cage), and there is no way they can get skinny enough to squeeze through. The space between the bars is probably about 3/8 inch. The cage is very well designed and won't pinch them anywhere either (like in the door). We have been very happy with this cage!

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.

My wife says that I am a pack rat and I cannot get even my hand through the hole, as it is only 2 inches in diameter! Oh, perhaps you meant the non-human variety. In that case, I checked Wikipedia.com and found that pack rats range from about 300-400 grams and "standard" rats go up to 450 grams, so I would assume that the Protecta LP would work for pack rats as long as you find a bait that they like.

The spacing is just narrower than the diameter of a US Quarter coin. If you try you can push the quarter through as the bars will flex a bit. We have a hedgehog in this cage and he is safe and cannot squeeze through the openings.

What do you mean by small? The bottom trap portion is larger than another brand trap I own if that helps.

11.5 x 12 x 6.5 sounds right. the problem for me was the damn rats didn't eat the bait. so i went on youtube. found one that said to buy oats or granola with raisins and powdered plaster of paris. dry mix it so its pretty white. place that where they travel. something ate it and i haven't seen any signs of rats. yet. the plaster of paris is supposed to bind up their intestinal systems. we'll see but try that first before wasting your money on a station and bait that doesn't work.

There have been no responses to your post, but did you ever find an answer to this question? I have the same problem with large moulding above my doors. I purchased a Gold's Gym version of the bar and it would not fit!

Sorry for the delay, the spacing between the bars is 1.25 inches. It is a great dog crate. My Oliver loves it.

I just measured mine and the gap between the bars is about exactly 1 inch. Hope that helps.

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

Dennis; I had to measure the hole spacing, and I came up with M3 X .5 spaced .671 inches apart. I have a drawing I made, You can reach me at wathebarge@gmail.com if you need more. I mounted it by the barrel instead of the screw holes. Best Wayne Thebarge

I believe the bar spacing is 3/4" or 1". I have a Parrolet in it and it is wonderful!! I had originally ordered a bigger cage with 1 1/2" and he got out. This cage will hold a parakeet or larger. I wouldn't put anything larger than a Conure or Pionus in though. I think anything larger would need more room.

I don't think so. Even if you find something like cork I would guess that you will need to replace it. I punched a hole through the back after 500 pellets or so. I ended up welding two 2 mm thick steel door frame anchors to the back of the trap. Now it is holding fine but the trap looks like something out of MadMax. I'll post some pictures in a couple of days.

Hi Tamara Ann, my bar was about an inch or half inch too long and I had to trim off the end a bit. The bar I have, had to fit into a 19 1/2" space. This was the only bar I found that worked for me. Hope this info helps you. good luck. Tommy.

We purchased this BestPet enclosure for our small dog and it works well. The distance between the bars is 1 1/2 inches. We purchased it on line through Amazon. Hope this helps.
