I have two female fancys o mine they love it, its perfect could easily hold up to two more maybe even more but you'll love it AND so will they trust me..

Yes!!! As a former breeder of rats, this cage would be perfect for them!! The space is great and there's no possible way for them to bite thru the steel bars.

I've used it for several years and it has worked beautifully on mice and squirrels (judging from critters the people around me have fought), but I don't know about rats.

I do have large rats in my outside building I keep rat poison in there I bought a metal pole at the hardware store and raised it sorta high just to be safe,but then they started jumping from trees to feeder,being heavier than feeders would close,I am T

I would think so, we are using ours for a guinea pig which is full grown and oh may he is all over the place. Got really strong also.

My best guess is NO. The opening and "maze" through which the mice go is way too small for even a small size rat... It has been wonderful for getting rid of mice problems though!

I would have to say no, unless they are very very small mice. I had large rat and the rat itself was three times the size of the cube ! It ate through the back to get the peanut butter ! Wonderful concept though. Needs the be in larger sizes and better quality material.

A full size cat I would say no. Anything the size of a rat or a little larger could get in it. I have cats around my house and have had no problems.

I use to have a rat and I think they would love this however if they chew on it, it wouldn't last. But you can buy the balls and put them in a rubber made tub.

For my chinchilla it did. Not sure about rats because they're a little more graceful...but it is metal on metal, so keep that in mind. It will clank.

I don't know why not. It is a natural bedding and is surprisingly great for burrowing. My African soft fur rats makes all sorts of craziness with it. I have no hedgie experience, but I'm sure it would work fine.

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.

I think it would, I actually originally bought it for my kids pet guinea pigs. I am sure it would work for rats too.

Sorry, never had rats, and don't know if it would work on them or not. Maybe contact manufacturer

I used this habitat to hold our hamster while we were cleaning the larger habitat and traveling. For a small pet fancy mouse that is approximately 15-17.5 cm (6-7 in) long from nose to the tip of the tail it would probably work well in the same capacity. For a show mouse that measures 30 cm (12 in) nose to tail, it will be to small for a long periods of time. This habitat will link to other Critter Trail habitats using connecting tube accessories.

I suppose it would work for rats as well as mice. Seems like you have large mice there :)

I would check with a vet first. A rat is small and this could really make her sick.

Yeah, I had my three rats in it when they were little but you will definitely need a bigger cage when they start to grow, it's a long cage but its not very tall
