Rats require more excersize than a hamster cage will allow for. They like to run and investigate and play so give them room to do so. Many hamster cages are barely big enough for hamsters let alone a rat. Look for cages that are open (not aquariums) for air circulation and that have tight enough metal bands so that a rat can not get its head caught in the wall of the cage.
