Toys

You don’t have to be rich to add toys and stimulation to your rat’s play room and cage. It only takes imagination.
Rats love boxes, all kinds, mine especially love the longish soda boxes. They also love toilet tissue tubes, better yet, leave some toilet tissue on the tube, they’ll put it to good use. I’ve given mine ping pong balls from the buck store and more recently, I purchased a container from the buck store for only $2 and decided it wasn’t what I needed so I wasn’t using it. Then I caught one of my guys making a run for it and jumped up and hid inside. Well… I knew instantly that would become their new toy. I put it near their cage, add a fleece blanket inside and there you have it. A new toy. They were all over it, climbing it, hiding in it, cuddling in it… Forget all those expensive pet store toys, look around your home, I bet you have a few hidden gems. The rats will surely appreciate it.
