Question about rat cages?
I was given my first guinea pig in a store purchased cage that I have only since used for traveled (since I kept a C&C) I've looked at the size and it seems decent for rats (I used a rat calculator and it said it could house two rats fine). My biggest concern is the bar spacing. The space is about an inch or 2 cm. I've heard some people say that you can go up to 1 inch bar spacing.
1. Is 1 inch okay or not for rats?
2. If no is there a way to rat proof an old cage?
3. Any tips for a new rat owner? ps I've owned guinea pigs and hamsters in the past to i know general rodent knowledge.

2 cm seems fine and it depends I have large ferret cages for my rats the super pet tall cages and the bar spacing is 1 inch
If you have baby rats 1 inch isn't appropriate but as they grow it is perfect..
