Collection: Rat Hides & Houses | Hideouts, Beds & Hammocks

Every rat needs somewhere dark to retreat. Choose by where the hide goes: a house for the cage floor, a hanging hide for an upper level, or a hide with a hammock for rats who nap up high. Check the doorway size on each page.

Rat hides, houses and cabins for covered cage spaces, including mushroom houses and character designs.

Choose a rat hideout for your layout

Check the usable space inside and the opening your rats will use. If the hide will serve as a rat bed, allow room for the rats who rest together and leave the entrance clear. Compare the footprint and whether the listing calls for floor space, a shelf or a cage attachment.

Choose the shape that suits the setup, then check the individual product page for dimensions, fittings and cleaning instructions.

Sizes are approximate. If a listing gives no measurements, ask us before ordering. The RSPCA suggests offering more shelters than rats, so each rat has a choice of where to sleep, without hides taking over the cage floor.
