Would this be ok for two rats, or would it be too hard for the rats to get around?

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.

We have two rats that started samll and are now large and we can see love the cage because they run around a lot and are constantly going up and down on the stairs. the food and water on the secong floor and easy to clean. My kids put toys for them to play with in the cage and we can see they enjoy it.

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.

U could do 2 rats, but that would b the limit. I think they'd have enough space.

This would be a great cage for two rats. This is the cage my two rats currently live in. I've actually taken out both the top and bottom ramps because they like to jump from level to level. You may need to keep the ramps in if they are young or old, however.

I have a ferret and it's perfect for her. I think baby rats should be ok. Maybe not mice or hamsters because they might squeeze out.

I have not had rats climb onto mine, but have it hanging from an elevation. I have had a determined squirrel get to one of mine; he climbs up a schrub and leaps for it - sometimes he sticks his landing to the roof - often he misses. Once on the roof though, he has to hang upside done by one foot to reach the seed.

I would not recommend it for rats. I had a baby chinchilla in this cage about 4 months old and he walked right through the bars. I ended up having to buy him a different cage. The cage was also much taller than I anticipated. the ladders from floor to floor have quite a space between them also.

It should be good for rats, as they are similar in size to the squirrels that we use the trap on. I think mice might be a little small though.

Not big enough for three baby rats. Two would be pushing it, that is if you don't intend to put in a wheel. I actually have two of these cages, good condition. If you are interested, I'll give you more detail.

The bars are about a finger width apart. I think this cage would work just fine for rats.

I'm guessing probably by a ferret, not sure about a rat. Maybe too high for the rat to use.

They would have a ton of room...but the bars are an inch wide so im not sure if that is too wide if they could squeeze through the bars but I know alot of people use it for rats. I have 3 full grown ferrets in mine with the addition and they have TONS of room..

This would be a HUGE cage for rats. You'd have to build or find a way to make levels for them to get the full use. It's a 5 foot tall cage, and some of the doors are on hinges that swing out with no 'stoppers' so if they're smart they'll escape easily.

The space between bars is the same as a habitat spacing. They shouldn't be able to fit between. Although, we live in the country and I know rodents are crafty and determined, I wire tied the corners so there would be no room for failure. Hope that helps.

I tried it for my rat and sadly soon he learned to chew through it and get out. Nothing kept him from escaping. Sorry! Deb

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've had this cage for 5 months. I don't have rats, but I keep a pretty big teddy bear hamster in it. I was concerned about the bar spacing as well, since rat cages seem to be bigger than hamster cages, but I had no problems whatsoever. I would think that if the bars can keep my hamster contained, it would be more than sufficient for rats.

I have two small tame rats in mine at the moment, both are female and under a year old. They get along great(they weren't from the same litter either). It could probably fit 2 medium rats as well but they wouldn't have a lot of room to run around in. The food bowl is in the top which is good because it gives them a lot of room to run around on the bottom if you don't put any extra habitats in or anything. You could probably even get a rat hammock and hang it in the opposite corner of the cage from the food.

Mine is placed on a sidewall on the bottom level. It is in the bottom 2/3 of that section and my rats have no trouble getting in it.

I've had newborn rats in it until they were full grown, only the very tiny runt could slip through the bars. Any grown rat or even a two month old rat would be fine in here. I wouldn't recomend for large rats. I kept my small female in here.
