Hi!
A few weeks ago a decided to try hiding treats in crumbled up pieces of paper, tying them to a rope and hanging them from the top of the cage, seeing if Poppy and Fern could get them out. It took a while at first, but they soon got the idea, then it became the next best thing! The go crazy for the treat ropes now! Want to try? Here's how:
Supplies:
String of some kind.
A small handful of your rats favorite treats.
Plain printer paper.
Instructions:
Tear a piece of paper large enough to hold a handful of treats and still have room to crumple up tight. Fill with treats. Crumple up tight, with maybe a tiny edge of paper sticking out. Tie a long piece of string around. Tie to the top of the cage so that it hangs down far enough for the rats to reach. Watch them play and have loads of fun!
Here are some pictures:

AAAAH! RAT GONE CRAZY WITH NEED TO GET OPEN!

What it should look like before...
Thanks,
NutFreeG, Poppy and Fern
