Homemade Accessories for Your Rat Cage

Is your rat cage a little boring lately? Want to spruce it up with new toys and accessories, but don't have the budget for it? There are a number of sites on the web that can help.

On Squidoo is a page with a variety of projects you can make yourself with no sewing or special skills required: http://www.squidoo.com/simple-and-easy-ways-to-accessorize-a-rat-cage.
This site shares some no-sew hammock ideas, along with projects like a paper mache dome hideout, rope ladders, beds made from hats, and hideouts made from baskets, flower pots, and ice-cream tubs.

The Dapper Rat (http://www.dapper.com.au/toys.htm) also has a page with innovative toy and activity ideas for your rat. This page is full of ideas, including instructions for a rat dig box, a rattie clubhouse, and a rattie wading pool.

And if you are looking to deck out your cage with new hammocks, but you don't have a sewing machine - don't sweat it. Suz' Sugar Gliders (http://www.suzsugargliders.com/nosewaccessories.htm)  has instructions for a variety of no-sew hammock projects that will work just as well for rats.

And for those who do sew, don't forget our rat hammock tutorials at Ratropolis.com (http://www.ratropolis.com/Rat%20Tutorials/RatTutorials.htm).

  1. Glass tanks have the same issues as the plastic one, providing little ventilation, plus rats like to climb so it’s really better to have an all metal cage preferably with bars.here

  2. An attention-grabbing discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this subject, it might not be a taboo topic however usually persons are not sufficient to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers https://lifeafterbugs.com/mice-rats/
