Question 1

Is this cage suitable for two male rats?

Accepted Answer

Yes as long as they are full grown. I brought this cage for my two baby rats and they kept getting out because the bars first base too far apart. I had to put chicken wire on mine to keep them in

Question 2

GOOD FOR CHINCHILLAS?

Accepted Answer

I bought this cage, since it was the cage at the animal control facility that I adopted my chinchilla from. It is relatively spacious and more importantly vertical with 2 main levels, which is important for chinchillas that likes to leap around.
The cage wiring is only okay. Some were either not welded right or my chinchilla was able to break it and bend it (would have been an escape route had he did that to two adjacent bars) within the first 2 days of being put in there after getting re-homed. Also the spacing being the bars could be large enough for baby chinchilla kits to squeeze through (in case you have mating pair or buy one that is really young).
The biggest issue for chinchilla owners are that the perching platforms (2) and the ramps (2) are made of plastic, which bored chinchillas will chew on and that is bad for their health.  Recommend replacing those with platforms made from chinchilla-safe wood (kiln dried pine is most common and easiest to get a hold of at Lowes and Home Depot type retailers) or from other Amazon listings.
My chin also manages to get urine outside the cage onto nearby walls, especially when he decides to do his business from the upper level.  So urine guard of some sort or tarp covering the wall and floor will be needed to minimize the clean up difficulty level.
The cage will rattle loudly if he is actively jumping off the cage wall.  But so far neighbor had not complained.
Bought mine when it was $100, not sure if I would spend the ~$150 it costs now when other better designed and constructed cages costs about that much.

Question 3

Is this a good cage for a chinchilla? Also, do the wheels come off and would it be sturdy on a table?

Accepted Answer

When you build the cage you don't have to install the wheels. The cage is great. I have never personally owned a chinchilla but I'm sure it would be perfect for them. You can make it into two cages or run a ramp through the middle making it one whole cage. It's easy to assemble too. I have rats and they love it. I plan on buying another soon.

Question 4

would this cage be alright for 2 ferrets?

Accepted Answer

I have four ferrets and two ferret nation cages. I recently adopted two new ones and they came with this cage.  1. Enough space for sleep, food and poop. 2. Not alot of space for playing so if your guys are going to be more free roam then ok. 3. In comparison to my original cage the cleaning is a pain. Only one door opens which makes it difficult to get in the cage.
