Anyone know if this would work for pet rats?

i got this for my guinea pigs and it works just fine. if you only buy one its pretty small, i read all the measurements before hand as not to make a mistake and i purchased 2 of them. they link together very easily. and they have enough space to run around and play with their toys. i always make sure to squeeze the hooks closed when i put them in so they wont get out. its basically all about the owner responsibility. i read some bad reviews but it was all about size my friend had purchased some before i did so i know they were sturdy. as long as u get more then one i suggest so your pet will have more room it will be fine. they are also easy to store as they fold up nicely. i got this for my guinea pigs and it works just fine. if you only buy one its pretty small, i read all the measurements before hand as not to make a mistake and i purchased 2 of them. they link together very easily. and they have enough space to run around and play with their toys. i always make sure to squeeze the hooks closed when i put them in so they wont get out. its basically all about the owner responsibility. i read some bad reviews but it was all about size my friend had purchased some before i did so i know they were sturdy. as long as u get more then one i suggest so your pet... » Read More i got this for my guinea pigs and it works just fine. if you only buy one its pretty small, i read all the measurements before hand as not to make a mistake and i purchased 2 of them. they link together very easily. and they have enough space to run around and play with their toys. i always make sure to squeeze the hooks closed when i put them in so they wont get out. its basically all about the owner responsibility. i read some bad reviews but it was all about size my friend had purchased some before i did so i know they were sturdy. as long as u get more then one i suggest so your pet will have more room it will be fine. they are also easy to store as they fold up nicely. « Show Less

When I received this product it was smaller than tiny. Pet rats are pretty smart. I believe that they would figure a way out pretty quickly. I would not recommend this product for any animal. Only maybe for a small hermit crab. Good luck to you and your pet rats if you buy this!!

Yes, it works for mice and rats. You have to make sure it's set to the rodent setting and leave it plugged in all the time. It takes a few weeks to work, but it does work. We had both mice and rats coming in the house. I haven't seen or heard any evidence of either in weeks now.

This trap is best for rats, but there are similar versions for mice. I found peanut butter to be effective for both.

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.

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.

I think it might be a little large for rats, there are some spaces in the cage, particularly above the door where the rats may be able to get out. I can fit my (flat) hand through the space above the door, so I'd be a bit worried that may be enough room for a mischievous rat to squeeze through.

No. I bought two things of shake away because of rats and it did absolutely nothing except smell like pee. I hear it works for others. But definitely did not work for my rat problem.

I don't know if it repels rats but it sure does mice. If the package doesn't list rats I would assume it wouldn't, but give it a try, rats don't know how to read so you never know.

I have a dwarf rabbit that uses this . He is good size I would think it would be plenty big for a pet rat

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

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.

Hi Monika, I use this project mainly to deter squirrels from nosing around my bulbs and digging all over the place. I've never used it for mice but I can't help but think that it might work for mice and rats as well because of the ingredients. It seems to work a little for racoons and skunks so if it was me, I would try it and see how it goes. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Take care and all the best to you for the new year.

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 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.

Not sure about rats. If they like to chew it's great. Takes time for them to chew the whole thing apart. A good boredom breaker.

I have been getting field mice, which are a lot smaller than rats. I have been getting one per night and throwing it away in the morning when I check the unit. I dump out the dead mouse and dog kibbles, then dispose of the mouse and put the same dog kibble back in to the trap. I am uncertain whether the unit will kill two or more mice at a time. I suggest that you call the rep at 800-737-8927 to find your answer. If you killed one rat, that would fill up the unit.
