Have you ever gone to a pet store and looked for rat stuff and only find this small selection that is pretty expensive for how fast rats will rip through the toys or tubes? Yup, I have that problem to. Especially since I have 3 cages I have to keep up with.
I have critter nation that I split into 2. The top half homes my females and the bottom half homes my bucks. When I clean their cage I put them into a separate cage that stays vacant. I used to buy hammocks but they kept ripping the part that I use to clip it to the cage. They also chewed some holes into it -_-. I decided to hand sow fleece to make tubes and hammocks. I used to use doggy page on the bottom of the cage but they would just chew it up and their cage would get stinky fast. I started to use the fleece but that didn't last long either. I got tired of making tubes by hand because my fingers were covered with bandaids and I did not own a sewing machine.
I noticed I am not the only one with this problem. I decided to start making rat products for cheap since our rats will just rip it apart. Plus they pee all over it so we need multiples so while we are cleaning one batch we have another one to use. Point is, I want to help us out. Us as in rat owners. We love them and want them to be comfortable and clean. I will post pictures when they are done and hopefully you will love them.
follow by email so you can get my updates =D
Oh, I now use towels for the bottom of the cage and hand towelettes for hammocks. It was the only thing that lasted for a good while.
