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.

Yes, Pest Pro Mouse Glue Boards will work for Rats as well, but I can't tell about the big rats; we caught not bigger than three inches long ones.

There are ample ramps and ladders included that would make it perfect for rats. I lovw the age and so do my babies...lol

I wouldn't recommend it i had 3 rats in it but it would be too small for even one guinea pig your better off getting a rabbitt cage that is longer this cage isnt long its more tall

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

Not for very long. Baby rats grow very quickly and need room to run around and play in their cage. They will outgrow it quicker than they will be of a size that can go into one inch bar spacing. Even adult females can get out of one inch spacing. You may want to put hardware cloth or something of a smaller spacing on the outside of your cage.

Personally I feel this will not work for rat. I have a Syrian hamster and once she got full size 6-8 inches I felt like it was the perfect size. If your rat is larger than that I wouldn't recommend it due to the health issues it could acquire.

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.

No. I use it for rats and I wouldn't even want to put 3 of them in there at a time. Probably just 1 guinea.

Probably. I returned the item because it was poorly made and one of my ratties received a large cut that required stitches from a wire on the cage. I think you are better off going to Petsmart and looking at their selection of cages. The lower prices here (for me) are not worth my rats' safety.

Ask a vet before using anything on a pet rat. It's good for dogs... but might hurt a rat.

I would think so. Three of my sugar gliders can fit in there at once, as they often do, so I would imagine a rat would fit nicely. It's not as tiny as it may look in the picture.

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 think it would depend on how big your rats our. My female rat is still a baby but she Is the only one in the cage. But yes it should be fine for 2 rats

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.

I would think it would be okay, but you may want to ask others with rats. I use it for my ferrets (litter box), but they do not chew on it or live on it.

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
