I will be ordering two hammocks, the ones which have like a pocket and I have a sputnik which my ham is not really interested in so I'll use those, I'm also ordering a savic rat tube, some cotton perching ropes and a cotton parrot ring as those seem to be the only suitable toys on zooplus that I can find, if you have any suggestions for toys could you send me some links?

Rats love to have TONS of toys in their cages, their cage should be filled with many hammocks, chains, baskets, and shelves. As amity said, avoid cotton because it's harmful for just about every small animal due to the fact that it can wrap on limbs, teeth, and can harm their digestive systems. As many toys as you can possibly find work well, pet igloos, sea grass huts, and wooden and cardboard boxes also work really well. Amazon has lots of good toys if you could possibly order some off of there

I am not thinking of getting the rats anytime soon like in about a month or so, I'm thinking of getting the cage next week and then start getting the supplies and building up the cage so it is to a suitable standard. Want to make sure I'm prepared before I get them, I'm really stumped on what cage to get as the one I was thinking of getting wouldn't be suitable for young rats and I can't spend over £150 on a cage and I don't have the space for a savic royal suite (I wish I did!) in my room
