Will this wheel work for rats?

Yes it would. It is large. Very roomy. I got it for my Chinchilla but she has not learned how to use it yet.

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.

Yes. I have two rats and the 12-inch "giant" wheel is perfect. I will warn you that it is not whisper quiet, though. I think the Silent Spinners are better if you can afford a bit more!

No it probably won't. My small rat who is bigger than a gerbil can squeeze out of it.

Don't know about rats, but I bought 2 and after a brief time both stopped working altogether . Even when they were working they never deterred dogs ( what I bought it for). Don't waste your money, in my opinion. Good luck.

Yes. I put attach a rat wheel on the side of the cage for a black bear hamster, since she's on the big side for a Syrian.

Yes. Too small for a pet rat. Works for our gerbils, but would be too tight for anything bigger.

we have a smaller wheel inside the cage. We have not tried it, but I do not think so.

It will work on most all snakes Mice and Rats also.Not made for mice or rats but works.

Maybe, depending on the wheel. I'd recommend this cage as a carrier, or a temporary home for babies. For an adult rodent, it's rather cramped even with just a food bowl and the water bottle.

I'm not sure if this will work on rats since I use it for small mice. I think it would be worth trying and if plugging it into an extension cord be sure to stand the device upright facing the car. This may take a week or few weeks to get rid of mice/rats and once you are rid of problem u decide to unplug the device they may return! Try using the device along with one mothball in every corner of garage. I hope this will help!

I do not have a rat issue. My problem is with field mice in the winter. The device has had limited success with the mice so my thought would be that it would not work with rats. Good luck and I hope you find a solution.

It should work. Apparently, all rodents have a problem with essential oil of mint, and that is the key ingredient.

Does anyone know if this works on rats? I have pet rats that I allow to run around most of the time, but recently discovered they are chewing up some VERY important wires and that I need to deter this behavior pronto! Please, anyone who knows, share your experiences with me.

Yes, probably would work for mice or rats, question is if mice are heavy enough to drop the doors, but I would venture to guess they would and the mesh wire is small enough to keep all but the most tiny in the trap.

I'm not sure, because I bought mine for my two rats and they seem to love it. I heard they are big chewers if that's the case I couldn't get this exact one because the ramps and levels are all made out of plastic. But you can't always go by that, because rats chew everything.....yet mine has never chewed up nothing...but their toys. The ramps are kinda steep. Hope this was helpful. Good luck.

Maybe? How big are these rats!? The platforms are actually slippery so you may have to line them with something that they can grab onto. Hope this helps :)

I think this could work for rats as well, especially if your rats are used to chewing on those colored blocks or wooden sticks. Sizing wise, it can be compared to a tennis ball, so it would be too big for mice and depending on the size of your rats can either be a little too big or just right (as it is for my chinchilla). It is a very unique chew toy, so if you wanted to give rats a new experience, it's worth a try for the price.

It would have to be a small rat they are designed for Chipmunks and mice they sell larger ones for Rats
