Good quick play areas?

[OtakuJolyn]

Hey rat pack,
So my girls are starting to become more explorative and I'm hesitant to let them play outside their cage.
I don't have much when it comes to large spaces, plus we have a few cats who are curious. I could probably set up something on top of my bed. Something easily foldable to store it.
What do?

then cover you bed with a fleece blanket and add toys tubes etc

see play areas here for ideas https://www.ratshackforum.com/threads/reference-thread-read-only.35894/


If you want a large contained play area where they can play without your interaction see the large playpen (powder coated) at martinscages.com

Hey, so what I do is I get a couple large boxes. I unfold them completely so that they are flat, lay them down on the ground, then duct tape the flaps together. It's hard to explain over text, so here's a picture to give you a better idea. I got this from the Youtuber Shadow the rat (I think) if you want to find her video on it.

Cardboard wall

I have this all the way around the cage almost always, and it's duct taped to the wall so you could just pull it off the wall and fold it up beside the cage. It also helps catch anything that falls out of the cage so it's easier to keep it clean. Hope this helps
