Your question is a hard one to answer as it all depends on what size your rat is. Larger rats such as adult males and large adult females will be fine in say a ferret cage but smaller adult rats and juveniles need a smaller spacing so bird cages would be best for them. The floor squares should be no more then .5 inches as they can fall through and get stuck quite easily

Can a rat live in a bird cage?
Using A Bird Cage For A Rat:Absolutley! Rats like to climb. You can make a playground through the bid cage with rope, cardboard, and really anything else. You rats would love it!A rat can be put into a bird cage as long as the cage has been properly modified to suit a rat.No you shouldn't put a rat in a bird cage because birds have different surroundings then rats and they need different homes.If the cage is big enough, and the bottom is not wire... then sure. It doesn't really matter what species the cage is labeled for, so long as it meets your animal's housing requirements. I've kept rats in bird cages.Yes. As long as the wire is close enough together so the rat can't get stuck and make sure all doors are very secure. If the bottom of the cage is plastic keep a close eye on it because they can chew a hole. Rats are very intelligent and can figure out how to escape easily.There are pros and cons: only if the cage has a big enough floor space and No because if they climb to the top of the cage and fall off it's a long way to fall and the rat could hurt itself. It might get it's head stuck in the wire. If you don't put soft bedding (newspaper and wood shavings) on the floor the rat/mouse's feet might fall through the floor and the wire under their feet is just uncomfortable. It doesn't cost much more to buy a rat cage.Yes, there are plenty of good bird cages that you can modify by adding levels and hammocks, you can basically pack it full of toys. I had a hard time deciding to get a rat cage or a bird cage. Just remove the wire bottom.Yes, but make sure that the on the bottom of the cage there is no way your rat friend can get his foot (or any other body part) stuck and you can buy little platforms that will connect to the side of a cage and hammocks for ferrets or other small animals will create a cozy environment and if your rat is small enough for a house if you take an empty tissue box and take off all the plastic from the top then that would work too my rats loved it.Yes you can put a rat in a bird cage as long as all the doors are secure and it cant get out or stuck through the bars. The rat will enjoy playing and climbing on the toys and bars in the cage I know my rat would!I have a pet rat and she lives in a bird cage that i modified because rat cages are too expensive and many deals include a rat which i didnt need. My rat loves her cage and acts like any other normal rat.My rats also live in a bird cage that has been modified. Bird cages are also much cheaper than rat cages.yes, just make sure that the bottom is not wire, there is not enough space between the bars so that the rat can escape, and there is enough space.
What cage you should your hamster in?

How can you get your rats to stop chewing their cage?
Rats are always going to chew. It is instinct. Their teeth never stop growing and they must chew on wood and other things to keep their teeth ground down. You will need a cage suitable for rats that they can not chew through. This would be a metal cage with bars close enough together that they can't escape or an aquarium with a metal cover. Be aware though, aquariums are not ventilated like the wire cages and must be kept very clean as it will hold ammonia and cause further problems.
What things do you need to buy if you're going to get a baby pet rat?
Rat food, food dish and water dish/bottle, and some wood shavings or bedding paper. For the cage, it's good to find one with a solid bottom and wire sides/roof, you shouldn't get one with a wire floor on it, because their feet can get really sore standing on it all the time (also, sometiems their feet can fall through and get stuck). Rats are very playful and gentle, and relatively easy to catch, so you should take them out of their cage for 30-60 minutes every day and just let them run around, but keep a close eye on them. You can't put them in those little plastic balls, however, as it's terrible for their backs. If you can't dedicate ennough time to let them excercise out of their cage, you can buy them a wheel. Rats also don't do very well when around other rodents, never make them share a cage (except with other rats). Also, be careful around the cage, or putting any kind of cloth near it. Of all the rats I've owned, most of them enjoy biting any cloth or fingers that happen to be close to the cage, although they have never bitten when outside the cage, or you hand is inside it, only when the cage is separating them from their chew toy.
