How do you use nesting material for your rat?

Rats like to sleep in a house, a sputnik or hammock. They love soft places to sleep, so give the animals enough 'sleeping material', as we call it. A little toilet paper can make many rats very happy, they immediately take it to their house or hammock. Because toilet paper quickly starts to smell, we have made a selection in this category of nesting material that is very suitable for rats.

Which nesting material to use when?

Nesting material is a broad concept, because cushions and baskets are also included. Cushions and baskets therefore fall on their own, they do not need any further filling, because they are nice and soft in themselves.

Nesting material in the form of litter/floor covering such as minihemp nesting material, cotton or the paper shavings bedding are ideal for a house that stands on the bottom of the enclosure. Rats take this bedding with them to the house, where they can build a cozy nest with it. Nest material in the form of litter is less suitable for a plateau or in a hanging house, because it falls down easily.

Mats come in different sizes, colors and materials. Mats are ideal as a floor covering or as a layer on a plateau. For example, the hemp mat is a disposable mat that needs to be replaced with a new one after a while. Mats made of fleece material can be washed and reused. The hemp mat in particular is a special mat for Rats. He is often picked apart by the Rats and taken to the dormitory; a real 'towing material'. When placing a mat on the bottom or on the platform, soft nesting material is still needed for extra filling in the house or sleeping place.

Coconut can be used as ground cover and as nesting material. Coconut is low in dust and particularly absorbent. It holds moisture and odors firmly. Coconut is also one of the 'trailing materials': The rats will gladly get to work with the fibers of the coconut.

Blankets are also very nice as nesting material for the rats. They will happily hide in it and drag it around. An advantage of a blanket is that it can be reused.

Plush tunnels are also wonderful to sleep in. Nice and soft and warm during colder days. A big advantage is that several Rats can lie in the tunnel and the ventilation remains good because of the two open sides!

Because Rats have very sensitive airways, it is important that they do not get dusty nesting materials. Dust can irritate the respiratory tract and even cause serious health problems in very sensitive animals.
