Plush Carrot Sleeping Bag 20 cm for Rats

The Plush Carrot Sleeping Bag 20 cm is a soft plush sleeping bag for rats who like to lie warm, sheltered, and comfortably. The carrot shape adds a cheerful touch to the enclosure, while your rat has a cozy spot to curl up in, rest, or lie out of sight for a while.

At DRD, when it comes to soft sleeping spots, we focus primarily on size, entry, material, and how the animal uses the spot. This carrot sleeping bag is approximately 17 × 18.5 × 20 cm, made of plush, and has no open bottom. Inside, there is a removable cushion, making it easier to shake out and clean the resting spot. You use this sleeping bag mainly as a separate resting place on the bottom, on a wide platform, or in a quiet corner of the rat cage.

✔ Wonderfully soft plush to snuggle up in
✔ Nice as a standalone sleeping bag on the floor or on a wide platform
✔ With removable pad for easier cleaning
✔ Cheerful carrot shape as a playful accent in the rat cage
✔ Nice addition alongside hammocks, houses, and tunnels
✔ Lightweight and easy to move within the enclosure

Why choose the Plush Carrot Sleeping Bag?

Rats like to use multiple resting spots in their cage. Sometimes they lie together in a hammock, other times they prefer to curl up separately in a little house, basket, or soft sleeping bag. This Plush Carrot Sleeping Bag gives your rat one of these extra comfortable spots of choice: soft, sheltered, and easy to set up.

The sleeping bag is especially pleasant for rats who like to curl up inside something rather than lie open. The enclosed shape provides a cozy feeling, while the soft plush ensures warmth and comfort. As a result, this carrot fits well in a cage where you want to offer various types of sleeping spots.

The removable cushion makes the house more practical to use. You can remove the cushion separately, shake it out, and clean it according to the instructions on the washing label. This is handy, because rats often use soft spots extensively, and hair, bedding, or small scraps can end up in them.

For which animals is this sleeping bag suitable?

• Rat: suitable as a soft, loose sleeping bag, resting place, or extra lying spot in the cage. Place the sleeping bag on a dry, flat surface and check regularly that the fabric, seams, and cushion remain clean.

For dwarf rats, the sleeping bag may fit if the body size matches the size of the sleeping bag well. Because dwarf rats can vary in size and build, the actual size of the animal remains the determining factor.

For mice, dwarf hamsters, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, chinchillas, degus, and ferrets, you would prefer to choose a different house, basket, tunnel, or larger sleeping bag that is better suited to their size, behavior, and way of moving.

Use for rats

Place the carrot sleeping bag on a dry, flat spot in the rat cage. This can be on the bottom, but also on a wide and stable platform. Preferably choose a quiet spot where your rat can easily reach it and where the sleeping bag will not constantly become covered in bedding or food scraps.

Use the sleeping bag as an extra sleeping spot alongside other resting places. Rats are social animals, but they do not always want to lie in exactly the same spot. By offering multiple options, they can choose for themselves whether to sleep together, rest separately, hang high up, or lie sheltered below.

Some rats use plush products very neatly as sleeping places. Other rats like to pull at fabric, drag cushions around, or gnaw at seams. Therefore, observe your own animals closely and check the product regularly.

How do you use the sleeping bag?

• Place the sleeping bag on a dry, flat surface.
• Use it as an extra resting place, not as the only shelter.
• Ensure that the opening remains easily accessible.
• Preferably use the sleeping bag in an indoor enclosure or dry indoor space.
• Shake out hair, bedding, and debris regularly.
• Remove the cushion when you want to clean it separately.
• Let the sleeping bag and pillow dry completely before putting them back.
• Regularly check the fabric, seams, cushion, and filling for wear.

A soft sleeping bag remains most comfortable when kept dry and clean. Therefore, it is best not to place it directly next to a water bottle, toilet area, or wet corner. This way, the carrot stays fresh and comfortable for longer.

Materials and maintenance

The Plush Carrot Sleeping Bag is made of soft plush and has a removable pillow. Plush feels warm and comfortable, but can trap hair, dust, and bedding. Shaking it out regularly helps keep the sleeping bag clean.

The pillow can be hand-washed. Clean the sleeping bag and pillow according to the instructions on the washing label. Allow both parts to dry thoroughly before placing them back in the enclosure. While cleaning, immediately check that the seams, fabric, and filling are still intact.

Good to know

This sleeping bag is soft and comfortable, but not chew-proof. That is normal for plush products. Use it primarily for rats that handle fabric materials carefully, and remove it when clear wear appears.

Do you see loose fibers, holes, broken seams, or filling coming loose? Then it is time to remove the sleeping bag from the enclosure. This keeps the setup pleasant, organized, and suited to your animals' behavior.
