Nononono.The Cage is not right for birds.It would also be disastrous for a rodent.





When Buying a Cage...





You want to look for wire cages that are chrome, powder coated, stainless steel, or PVC coated.





You cannot use a cage with plain galvanized wire. The zinc in the uncoated bars is toxic for your rats as they chew on them, and their urine will corrode it.





If you find that perfect cage but it's galvanized, or if you want to make your own cage out of galvanized chicken wire, you can have it powder coated yourself. Look in the phone book under metal finishers, and see if you can find one that is willing to powder coat it for you.





The bar spacing of the cage MUST be 1/2'; or less. Any wider and your rats could squeeze right through the bars and escape. Most ferret and rabbit cages aren't appropriate for this reason.





You don't need to stick to just the ';rat'; section when looking for your cage. You also have a chance of finding a suitable rat cage in cages normally meant for; birds, chinchilla, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, and even some ferret and rabbit cages can work.





Be sure that if you buy a cage with a door that doesn't latch securely, such as a bird cage, that you buy a metal clip or use wire to keep it tightly closed. Rats can be very smart about opening things.





You will also want to make sure that a bird cage doesn't have any other obvious exits, such as slide out dishes and trays. A rat could push these out and escape, so they need to be somehow secured before use.





Try to avoid cages that have wire floors. These floors are HIGHLY uncomfortable for your rats to walk on. Rats do not have fur padding on the bottom of their feet like rabbits do for protection.





Also, under debate, is that wire floors cause bumblefoot. Bumblefoot is the development of painful sores on the bottom of your rat's feet.





There are many solutions to fixing a cage which has wire floors. If the floor itself has a wire cover to it, simply remove it, with wire cutters if necessary. If the cage also has additional levels made out of wire, you can cover them with something solid. Effective things you can use include linoleum, plexi glass, ceramic tiles, and plastic sewing mesh

Martins cages are great. The person who said ';bunny'; doesn't ahve a clue what she's talking about.





That is rat or ferret cage, but commonly used for rats. It might end up being slightly too small for a ferret. But I have one for my rats just like that, it's great.
no way a bunny, perfect for a degu or rat. though degus and rats should be in groups, this cage looks good for possibly 3 degus or rats. both great pets. also maybe one chinchilla.
Fancy Rats would love that! They're sweet hearts as well and act just like dogs, umm birds? Not soo much it's too crowded because of the leveling. So yeah Rats are your best bet, bunnies? not so much they get too big, and hamsters are too small
I think it would be great for a ferret as long as it had some ';out'; time. My closest friends have a ferret, his cage is slightly smaller than that I'd say, but the let him out everyday.
The wire floor is bad for all small animals/rodents so put some wood boards or cardboard on top. Once the wire floor is covered you could house a pair of rats, a chinchilla or a (maybe) rabbit. What are the dimensions?
That's a nice one! I'd say just about any rodent or bird. =]
I have one that is 2 levels and I would say a bunny.
