Homemade Play Tunnel for Pet Rats

When I first got my rats, I splurged on some fabric play tunnels and hammocks, knowing they would probably get chewed up in fairly short order. The hammock has lasted very well, though the same can't be said for the the hanging play tent and tunnel. However, the rats have loved every one of their fabric hide outs. I remembered reading about making play tunnels by cutting off sweatshirt sleeves, and also about using a ring cut from a plastic pop bottle to hold one end open. This was a couple of years ago so unfortunately I can't recall where I read these tips, but I decided to try it out for my boys. The verdict? They love this cozy play tunnel! It is very simple to make and is a great hide out and play tunnel for pet rats. Photos showing how I made it (and of course, one of my boys testing it out) can be found here in How to Make a Play Tunnel for Your Pet Rat out of a Sweatshirt.
