is this good for a rat?

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 would think so, but I do not know what the space needs are for rats. We are using it for a hamster, but it's actually a rat cage.

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

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

It works on mice, but not for rats. I think they have one formalated for rats, tho. Look at the website. That's the best I can offer.

I'm not sure, I just know it works pretty well on small rodents... sorry I couldn't be of more help

Rats are rodents and ferrets are not. I would get something specified for rats.

Yes, this is very nice size for two smaller rats. Might be a bit small for large rats. The dimensions are listed. However, my rats have a rat mansion with rat butlers and a recreation room with private bathrooms and a dining hall.

Certainly big enough for a mouse but too small for a rat. Hope that is helpful. The size was not what concerned me. I will give them another try as the weather seems to be sending more of the critters than I can cope with into the house.

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.

I would think this trap would work wonderfully for rats. I've caught chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits with... mice however, would more than likely be too small.

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

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.

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 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.

Yes! This is a perfect travelling carrier for small animals. I use it for my guinea pig and its a perfect fit, so I'm sure a rat would do well in it too!

I would say, probably not. I use it for my single rat, and it is perfect for him. I can't imagine something bigger being happy in it. It is a good cage, but it is my personal opinion that it would be too small; unless it is exercised frequently.
