Bestest Ratty (or other rodent) toy evah!

 by swinding

Step 1:

Pick out a treat - rat yogies were a favorite of my little boy, but any little thing works. A dab of peanut butter is especially yummy and keeps the rats busy longer than non-sticky things. My rats used to go nuts for Nutella, too. (Me, too!)

Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

Zoos do this kind of thing with the more intelligent animals (primates, for example). They call it enrichment, and will hide food all over the animal's enclosure, put it in tubes or logs, etc.
So you've definitely got the right idea!

OMG I love the "ratty-pinata" idea of making it more fun for them (and us). Did you use an old pair of jeans in the cage for a cuddly hideaway too? Very cute ;)

Big Kisses for your ratty. I have two handsome boys named Victor and Ricky.

We have a rat and tried this out. It was so funny watching her "open" her treat! Good toy!
