- 5 DIY Rat Toys Made from Recycled Materials
Toy 1: Forage Box
You'll need:
A tissue or disposable glove box
Empty toilet paper rolls
Stuff the toilet paper rolls inside the tissue/glove box and add some food and treats!
----------
Toy 2: Forage Bag
You'll need
Brown paper bags
Wooden clothes pins
Newspaper
Open up the bags and shred the newspaper.
Stuff the newspaper into a bag and add food and treats.
Close the bag with a clothes pin
You can hang the bag with the pin on the side of the cage
----------
Toy 3: Paper ghosts
You'll need:
Kitchen towel (paper) or newspaper
Scissors
Rat safe twine (untreated jute)
Cut the newspaper in half and again down the middle of 2 pages.
Fold each piece of paper in half two times to make a square.
Put some food/treats in the square.
Cut a piece of twine and carefully fold the "ghost", then tie it with the twine.
Use a longer piece of twine to make a hanging ghost.
----------
Toy 4: Egg tray/carton forager
You'll need:
An egg tray/carton
Scissors
Twine
Cut the individual "pieces" of the egg carton and make a hole in the middle of each piece.
Cut twine and knot it at one end.
Thread the egg carton onto the twine in an alternating pattern.
Tie off the other end of the twine with a loop for easy hanging.
Fill it with food and treats.
----------
Toy 5: Plastic roller toy
You'll need:
Clean plastic containers with lids
A soldering iron
I used an old and cheap soldering iron that was laying around.
WARNING: Do not touch the metal part of the soldering iron when it is on and hasn't cooled down yet, because it is extremely hot and you can get burned quite badly.
Burn various sized holes into the plastic containers.
NOTE: Make sure to do this in a well ventilated room!
You can add few or many, big or small holes, but make sure they are big enough for most food and treats to fall out when it is rolled.
Your rats might chew the holes bigger, this is absolutely okay.
Put some food and treats in the containers.

I now have to run around the house stopping everyone before they throw away/recycle anything 😆
These are such creative ideas! I’m definitely going to make some of them.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
@Blake Kaleb Instablaster =)
@@blakekaleb7837 I think there is an option in the login page that says “forgot password?” Then you click that and follow it’s instructions to recover it. If you still can’t get into it you’ll have to contact Instagram.
Definitely gonna use the "ghosts" for my mouse! He's really clever I think he'll love them!
Like the video it means a lot to us
Thank you for sharing! I'm planning on getting some as pets, but money is tight right now. This lets me know I can help them to have fun and recycle. Thank you :)
Awesome! Thank you!

Hey love your channel
Thank you
Great ideas! I might change them a little bit so my mice can enjoy those toys :3
P.S. if anyone here has mice and wanted to make diy toys i made a video of homemade, 4diy toys! Feel free to check that out!
wish i had found this sooner! my last two girls passed away not too long ago, i was devastated. i was always trying to find new things to make for them! (check my channel if you want to see them, however note that my care then wasn’t the best, and it greatly improved towards the end of their lives, however i discontinued my channel before then.
What food mix did you use
I used this mix: ua-cam.com/video/nvpI73yVdtk/v-deo.html

@@hayleydale5699 we've gone down to 4 now all got great homes!
do you think the tip of a hot glue gun would work in place of a soldering iron?
I have not tried it, if you try, please let us know if it works.
I don't agree with using newspaper because of the ink, I look for paper where the ink does not transfer to the skin.
Newspaper ink is South Africa is not toxic and won't cause any harm. I have also not noticed any transfer of ink onto my rats from newspaper and I have been using it for over 20 years.
