Would this gate work for containing a guinea pig or are the bars to far apart?

Oh how funny. But I would say yes, if the guinea pig is not a baby. I had one as a child & she was pretty big, so this gate would have worked for her. The bad part of this gate is when they learn to push it, it's easy for them to get out. I have to put small weights on each side so that my puppy cannot push or pull his way out. Hope this helps.

Probably. The gap between the vertical bars is 1.5 inches. There is a 1 inch gap between the floor and the horizontal bar.

The spacing between the bars is pretty small so I do not believe that a gerbil would be able to squeeze out.

Most of the gate's bars are about 4" wide- the widest bars are about 4.5"- so I don't think that would be an issue at all.

I think it would depend on how big the banister is, if it is small the gate might not have enough surface to grip it.

it was too wide for my cage so i had to cut the divider down to size with industrial clippers, slide it in the middle of the cage and wire it to the cage with zip ties or trash bag ties. It is working for me though. Keeps the Guinea's from fighting.

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 tallest part of the gate itself, rounded middle, is 27 1/2" but from the bottom of the frame to the top of the gate is 30". We put this gate across the top of our steps on our deck to keep the dogs confined to the deck and it works great. We have 2 small dogs, one is 3 1/2 lbs., the other 6 1/2 lbs. and they can't squeeze through the bars to escape. At least they haven't done it yet! The paint has faded a bit from the sun and I'll probably repaint it next spring. Wouldn't be a problem if it were inside and out of the hot direct sun.

It let my puppies away from the wrath of my child. they were small and about 45 days old when i got the gate. Its 2 3/4 in at its widest and really sturdy.

It's a pretty solid gate, and part of what keeps it in the door is the base that fits in the track. I think stacking them could lead to a dangerous situation with the dog knocking the top gate loose. Also the top of the gate is not flush, so the top gate would not be resting on a flat surface. I think you'd be better off looking for another solution for your jumper! I got this gate for my dog, and she has not tried to get out. (65# German shepherd).

The gate is 12.5W x 18 H ish.. the gate is about 6" off the ground. I am using them for mini pigs. The do not have trouble hopping in and out. IF you were going to use them for a whelping area, I would use a kiddie pool inside the fence. Great product LOVE IT!

I would not recommend this gate given this type of behaviour. The hinges are secured to the post or wall with two screws approximately 2 inches in length. The stress of the weight of even a small child would soon tear them loose.

The gate is 19 inches tall and works perfectly for our two dogs, a Bichon Frise and a Shihchon. They possibly could jump the gate, but are content to peek through the bone shaped openings.

It definitely can contain a Guinea Pig's ferocity. ;-) You can't pick the cage up from the top half. The latches keep the wired top in place but aren't strong enough to secure the bottom part if you lift it. I pick it up from the bottom or slide it around. It's very easy to clean. Lift off the top half to dump, clean and add new bedding.

I would say the space between bars is an inch and half. I don't think a rat would fit.

I use mine for a hedgehog and she has a small amount of room to move around. If you are only transporting it will be snug but will hold an adult guinea pig .

Yes, I am happy with this gate. We do not use it right now, we got 2 of them when our dogs were puppies, but the gates work great. The space between the verticals is around 2" and right at the hodge side 2 1/2".

I think so. Check the measurements to make sure your dog can stand comfortably. I love it, but I use it for two guinea pigs. It's easy to put together and take down.
