How wide are the spaces between the bars? Do you think a rat could fit in them?

Yes, a rat could fit between them. Mine is the rectangle .2 x .6. The other models spaces are octogon .5 and square .3 x .3. Hope that helps.

I would say the space between bars is an inch and half. I don't think a rat would fit.

The bars are like 1/4 of an inch apart. Doubtful your hamsters could squeeze through. This is a great cage and more then big enough for the little guys. I hope you enjoy it.

We have 4 male fancy rats. They fit when they were babies and now as adults as well. There is enough space for all of them. They have room to jump and play.

Hi, the spacing is half inch between bars. I measured my cage my hamster is in and it also has half inch spacing. I've had my rats in it since they were very young and no where near full grown so I would say it should be fine. Have a great day.

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.

Hi, the bar spacing is about an inch. I would actually recommend something a little bigger. This cage is smaller than we thought on the inside. I wish I had purchased a bigger size but then again it also depends on the size of your hamster. Thanks.

I don't think so the opening is to small for larger rodendents they do make a model for Rats

The bars are about a finger width apart. I think this cage would work just fine for rats.

U could do 2 rats, but that would b the limit. I think they'd have enough space.

It will be fine as a temporary cage for babies, however once they about 2-3 month old I would be sure to move them as this would be far too small. One inch spaced bars aren't recommended for female rats- they are smaller than males, even when full grown, and could easily slip out. I would recommend covering the cage you have with the one inch spacing with some hardware cloth (found at home improvement stores), then you can put even the babies in it and avoid having to buy this cage at all.

Idk how wide the spaces are but it should be good for ferret. I put my 8 week old chihuahua in it and he couldn't get out. I don't know how big ferrets get

My daughter's male rats are two months old and both fit in there quite nicely.... they are cozy in it. One of them LOVES this thing... the other rat doesn't seem to like it as much. They like the ladder part. However, when full grown? I don't think they will fit. I will try to update my answer when we get to that stage. I recommend lining it with fleece or paper towels so you can clean it out easier.

I haven't seen a dumbo rat, but looking them up online, it looks like they're about the same size as regular fancy rats...it's their ears that they're named for. So, if that's the case with yours, this cage is certainly big enough. My daughter has 2 rats in hers and there is plenty of room for them and all kinds of ramps, tubes, boxes, balls, etc. She does not use the ramps that came with the cage & uses tunnels and ropes instead.

It's about an inch between the bars. DO NOT buy this for any size hamsters. Hamsters can squeeze into spaces the size of their skull, which is why this is meant for guineas and rabbits. My hamster escaped this and he's a huge Syrian fancy bear hamster. Petco and petsmart sell rat cages that are almost the size of this with smaller bar spacing. I bought that for my hammy and it works perfectly. Good luck!

The individual bar spacing is very narrow. You could fit your finger through the space, but that's about it. Our bunny did try to dig underneath, but the bars had no problem keeping him in otherwise.

I would think this cage would be perfect. It's hard to say for sure without seeing your daughter's rat, but it would have to be really small for the space between the bars to be an issue. It's a fantastic cage, so I would definitely give it a shot.

I have heard many rat enthusiasts say that rats can fit through anything larger than half an inch... and this is 7/8s... so I would believe that anything smaller than an adult male could easily escape. That is my concern for my 3 females ... anybody experienced that with this cage????
