What is the wire spacing on this cage? Looking for a cage that has tight spacing to keep out kitty paws...

The bars have 1 cm/approx. 1/2 inch spacing. That will keep a cat's paws out, but if you have quite large or determined cats it may be better to look at a more solidly built cage.

The space between bars is the same as a habitat spacing. They shouldn't be able to fit between. Although, we live in the country and I know rodents are crafty and determined, I wire tied the corners so there would be no room for failure. Hope that helps.

Yea there is a lot of space. My cat got out of the cqge with all of the doors locked and closed. This cage is way too big for rats. I wish I would have chosen a different brand for my "kids"! Hope this helps.

I have found that there is too much space between the wires for small animals...I have a chinchilla and he constantly escapes from it.

I have one of these and my full grown rats cannot fit thru. The spacing is about an inch.

It's like a regular cage, open on all 4 sides-see thru. My cats love it. They like to lounge in it. The platforms are not big enough so I put blankets or pet beds on them.

If it is a dwarf breed I'd be concerned about the head getting stuck. The actual spacing of the wires in each pane I believe it is 2"x3", but the spacing of each panel itself is about 1" on the side where they attach and about the same on the bottom. I have it in the storage cubby of the RV so not easy access right now. Now what you could do is get chicken wire and put it on the inside of the kennel just about a foot or so high. That is what I would do as I have show rabbits and would do the same thing

I attached mine to an old piece of a cage siding, and then tied the extra cage piece to the inside of the breeding cage. I also glued a little hook to the top of the box and tied it to the cage. That helped to keep in steadier. I have a couple of the Petco Cockatiel Barn Roof cages that have one very high area. There was plenty of room for my budgie pair in the cage, even with the box sitting on the cage floor.

This is a very large cage. A hamster would be able to escape through the widely spaces bars. I'd look for something smaller with a tighter grid :)

I measured 23" not 24" as its advertised. When I measured the cage I got 23 1/4" long x 16 1/4" wide x 20" high. As far as the bar spacing, I am not sure if you meant between bars so I measured that to be approximately 1 1/4". I hope this helps. I made a short vid but there is no where to attach it in this response??

Dear Ms. Nienaber...while I do not have a cat (anymore :( ) I can tell you that this stand is very sturdy. I cannot speak to the cage portion because all I purchased was the stand. I have accidentally bumped into it and it with stood my 100lbs (which is certainly more than a cat). I hope this information is helpful.

The one that I purchased has wire spacing of 1/2 x 1. I use it to rid the yard of chipmunks. None have escaped through the wire mesh.

I have 4 mice (two very small, young ones) and the bars are just close enough to keep them in! One spot in my cage has a slight warp in the metal and one of them tried escaping once but after that incident, i just duct taped it up and they've been very happy in there! So I would recommend this cage for mice!

The doors are wire; one on top and one in the front. Cage is hard plastic for the bottom. It is a great size for my mini lop, she has room to move around a little and I can keep a triangular litter box in the corner. I was very happy I got the largest size! I have had the cage now for around two years, and it is still in great shape!

I bought this cage for my cockatiel and parakeet and I feel like they have plenty of room :) I removed the platform that came with the cage and replaced it with two smaller corner platforms which made the cage look even bigger. I hope this helps!

I used this as a good travel cage if they were going to and from the vet for example but I would not use this as a primary cage, its definitely not big enough (especially if you have two rats, which is good because the are social). A good cage size to look for would be the petco rat manor. The rat manor enclosure does have wire than can be sharper (especially as it ages) in some places so I just cut little blankets to put over the wire and it worked perfect. It also is fairly easy to clean too. For just a bit more you get a way better enclosure.

My cat sits on top of the cage and can't get in. Although a cat with claws might be able to "nab" a gerbil (that is what we have). The gerbils are not afraid, so their tails to stick out when sitting near the side by the cat. Once, I went in the room and the whole cage was on the floor. Luckily, the gerbils didn't get out, but they could have as one side came loose. Just be sure the tank is on a very sturdy surface. Mine is on a night stand and hangs over some as we have two of these on tanks side by side.
