Tips

  • If you want your rat to open a gift that is not a food item, put some sort of treat inside the wrapping paper to get them interested.

Warnings

  • Be careful what kind of wood you give your rats. Softwoods, such as pine, fir, and cedar, are toxic. Cherry wood is also toxic. Make sure you know what you're giving to your rats is safe.

Things You'll Need

  • Wrapping paper
  • Toilet paper roll
  • Treats
  • Safe hardwood, untreated
