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 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 does work for rats. I've noticed a big drop in rat visits in all of the places I used to find their remnants. But as the package says, it only lasts two or three months for a package before the smell goes away.

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

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

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.

I think they would like it . It is about the same size coconut you would buy in the store so you could easily lay it in the cage or find a way to hang it if you think the opening has to face up , then you might want to drill acouple holes in it for some drainage if the rat goes to the bathroom in his little house . the opening is about 3 inches across . You could probably even fit som nesting material in it for your little friend . Hope thus helps you .

It's perfect for rats if they aren't big chewers, I bought these and my girls chewed through them the same day. But they did look nice for a few hours �

It is all little kibble type pieces, no mix. It has all the proper nutrition for an adult rat! You can of course add your own supplements to it to make it tastier for them

It depends how big she is. I can fit two fingers vertically in the spacing of the bars. If your rat is tiny, I would say no. You know how easily they can get out of stuff to begin with :)

If it's a temporary cage, yes. Otherwise way too small for even one rat on a long term basis.

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 have had several rats over the years and I would definitely recommend a bigger enclosure if they are more than a few months old or an older rat that needs smaller space to help getting around. Rats are very active and need quite a bit of space. If you are looking for a bigger enclosure I would recommend the petco rat manor habitat. They go on sale a lot, either here or on petco's webpage/store so its not that much more and way better. Warning though, as the cage ages the wire can pop up and be a little sharp, but its easy to fix, just bend down and put a small blanket on the wire and you are good to go.

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

Did not use it for this purpose... Only used outdoors for rabbits... Don't know how it would work for rats.

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

In theory yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. This cage is best suited to rats. Ferrets do better with more space and in pairs as they are very social and like to play and cuddle together.
