Rat Hideouts
Rat hideouts help pet rats feel comfortable and secure in their habitat. Rats burrow and hide out in the wild, which gives them spaces to hide and provides them with a sense of privacy and security. Some common types of rat hideouts include:
- Hammocks and cubes: Hammocks and hanging cubes
- Tunnels: Hanging tunnel beds and play tunnels
- Beds: Beds that can be hung up or placed on the cage floor
Offering lots of hideouts and nesting areas prevents cage boredom and creates a more enriching environment for your pets. When choosing rat hideouts, make sure the hideaway is specified as rat-appropriate to ensure that it will be large enough to accommodate your pet.
Frequently Asked Questions about Rat Hideouts
Do pet rats need hideouts?
Yes, pet rats need hideouts. Rats seek out dark, safe, and enclosed spaces to sleep, rest, and decompress, so providing hideouts is important to their well-being.
What makes a good hideout for a rat?
A good rat hideout is an enclosed space that makes them feel snug and safe but still has enough room to let them move around comfortably and get some airflow. Avoid wire mesh or any hideouts with sharp edges or materials.
How big should a rat hideout be?
While there's no specific guidance on how big a rat hideout should be, there are some general parameters to help you choose. For a single rat, a hideout should be snug enough for them to feel secure without restricting movement. If you have multiple rats, choose a larger hideout to give them enough room to cuddle together. A hideout should be compact and enclosed so rats feel safe, but still large enough to let rats move around when they're inside and allow for airflow.
