I have a rat. And i was wondering from anyone who knows anything about them. What can be done or given to a rat to keep it amused. I open the cage everyday and let him run up my bookcase(where his cage is situated) but I don't know if this is efficient enough? Anything would be appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
Anthony

They make excellent paper shredders and so they are good for ridding the world of anything that could be used for identity theft. And, they love doing it.
Your rat would probably also enjoy a wheel in its cage and one of those balls that roll around on the floor. You do have to go to the rescue now and than when they get hung up on something but they really enjoy those. [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Another suggestion is to tape some toilet paper rolls together and make a little tube town for him it works very good and they love it!
Hope I helped!
