Wayne that is actually very true, my babies love to investigate my ears :) and my nose and my hair lol

What about bird toys?? will they harm them?

Answer 1

i have a pet rat and she likes those plastic bals that have a little bell in it but DONT get them the ones that have the drugs to make them go crazy

Answer 2

Bird toys are the best... Cat toys mustn't smell of the cats, and if the cats have been playing with them, ratties will smell their saliva from biting something like a chase toy, and such and they will be scared stiff of the toy, but scratch posts, yeah I bet they would! (sometimes they like doll houses!)
the bird toys that have rope and wood blocks are best. I use them. (although my rats don't like playing, very rarely will they have a little tug of war with my hair, but that's all!)

I'm glad you asked this question. You obviously love your ratties :o)

Have fun!

Answer 3

Our rats enjoy the plastic balls with bells inside them. I haven't tried small stuffed toys b/c I assumed they'd simply chew them up.
We also give our rats & mice *some* bird toys-- especially things made of sturdy rubber or plastic, or those natural tree branches that you can screw onto the side of the cage (they like climbing on them).

Answer 4

my rat loves her cat toys, the lil balls and lil mice, but make sure they have no catnip in them. thats not good for rats.

other than that. cat toys are okay for rats.
