About how many adult (very large) male rats could fit in this cage?

Two - three males can fit in this cage. I have three who are five months old in this, but they are not huge. However, if they are very large or territorial I would stick with two to give them plenty of space.

I love this set up myself. but I have 3 Degu's in it comfortably... not as big as rats. I'd day maybe 2 maybe 3 rats would fit?? Ive had the cage 1 year and happy!

I would say maybe two. My friend has two very large females in one of these right now. No more than that.

i have one medium sized guinea pig and he loves that he has a whole bunch of room to run around in and we can put different things in here for him without crowding his area. Two med to lg guinea pigs could fit comfortably in here, OR 3 smaller ones. but not more than 3 they would be too crowded. This is actually a cage for rabbits but i wanted my piggie to have lots of room. You want to make sure he or they can run around and get exercise in their cage when you are not able to take them out to explore. They can be prone to gaining weigh quickly since they eat all of the time.

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

I think it would be fine for two gerbils - my only issue is that there is not space for a little "house" for our rat to use - they like to have some place to hide and make their nest

I agree with J. Cook. Not nearly big enough with the exception of a baby rat.Works very well for mice as other reviews save one (overweight mice comment) say.Perhaps their overweight mice are really rats?!!!

I think this cage would be ok for a rat but you probably wouldn't need one as tall as the one I purchased only problem might be cleaning because you have to take the top part off other than that a very good cage

I have a REALLY big boy rat. Works just perfect for him. Also works wonderfully for my babies girl rats too

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!

Sorry to answer you so late. This is what happens when I subscribe to too many newsletters: I stop reading all my email! Yes, I do think a rat could fit inside. It would be a cozy fit, but they probably like that, I imagine.

I have this cage with one full grown male rat and he seems happy. He's not real active so he doesn't need a lot of room, we call it a retirement cage :) I have two baby girl rats and they're very active and I have them in a three story cage where they have more room to climb. Hope that helps!

Yes I do because my two rats love their new 'MANSION'. You may have to readjust the shelves a bit but it won't affect the fact that this cage is huge. I may need to add another rat to the group:)

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

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 never had a rat for a pet, but my first guess it that it would not be suitable for a rat. I would expect a rat cage to have bars closer together. Perhaps it could work if the rat is already full grown. I'm not sure how small a space a rat can fit through.

It's quite large and would be a mansion to 2 palm sized rats. The slats are about 1 inch apart, so no small mice in the cage.

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.
