I do plan on getting at least one sputnik but I'll probably wait to add it to the cage until the rats are more tame once I have it. I know I could order one online but I'll be able to have some control over the color buying it in store from Pet Supermarket here in the US - plus they're much cheaper there at 7.99 USD compared to most other places charging ~15 USD, so unless I want a really specific color not available in store I'll stick with buying them that way once I do start buying any!

I also have a cheap plastic Halloween bucket that in theory would make a decent hanging bed or small hanging dig box, but that might get reserved for out of cage use or at least until my pair is more tame as well.

Mine have some cheap Halloween buckets in their cage lol. Normally use it for stashing their goodies.

Forgot to mention. This may help with taming. An old t-shirt that you have worn for a day or 2 (no sprays or anything on it) or carry around tissue to get your scent then put it in the cage. Done it for all of mine and seems to work
