There are plenty of DIY toy options for pet rats that can keep them entertained and engaged. Here are some ideas:
-
Cardboard tubes: Rats love to chew and explore, so providing empty cardboard tubes from paper towel or toilet paper rolls can be a fun and inexpensive toy for them.
-
Fabric scraps: Cut up old t-shirts or fabric scraps into strips and tie them together to create a rope toy for your rats to climb and play on.
-
Dig box: Fill a shallow container with shredded paper, dried leaves, or crumpled paper for your rats to dig and burrow in.
-
Hanging treats: String up dried fruits or vegetables on a piece of string or twine for your rats to nibble on and play with.
-
Toilet paper roll pinata: Fill a toilet paper roll with treats or their favorite snacks, then hang it up in their cage for them to shred and enjoy the goodies inside.
Remember to always supervise your rats when introducing new toys and remove any items that may be hazardous or cause harm.
