I have wanted this cage since the moment I knew I wanted rats. However, the bar spacing on the cage is too large for baby or juvenile rats and they can easily get their heads through. Adults should be totally fine! Until they grow larger I modified the cage by wrapping it with aluminum mesh and zip tying it on. This solution has worked great for me, and wasnt too hard or expensive to implement. I plan to remove the mesh once they get bigger, so its definitely temporary. I get a cute stylish cage, and my ratties get more space! Its adorable and a lot bigger than expected, the price is definitely worth it.
