To create a comfortable nesting area for your rat, you can start by providing a cozy and secure shelter within their cage. This can be done by using a small hideout or a nesting box filled with soft bedding material such as shredded paper or hay. Additionally, consider adding some nesting material like torn up tissue paper or soft fabric for your rat to arrange and build their nest. Make sure the nesting area is placed in a quiet and secluded part of the cage to provide your rat with a sense of security and privacy. Keep the nesting area clean and dry to ensure your rat stays healthy and comfortable.
