Rat Bed UK Buying Guide: Hides, Nests and Cosy Cage Corners
A rat bed should give your rats a covered place to rest while fitting the cage you already have. Start with the footprint, entrance and bar spacing, then choose between a ready themed hide and a personalised hide with a short sign.
Match the hide to the cage
- Footprint: the Cupcake Rat Hide is a large hide, approximately 33 cm high, 25 cm wide and 20 cm deep. Check that size and its wide entrance against your cage.
- Fittings: the Cupcake hide and Personalised Rat Mailbox Hide list metal fittings for standard wire cage bars. Check your bar spacing and planned position before ordering.
- Use: choose an enclosed hide when the main job is resting and nesting. Plan its position so it does not block a path between other cage levels.

Questions to settle
Is the Cupcake Rat Hide suitable for a small cage?
It is described as a large hide. Check its approximately 33 x 25 x 20 cm dimensions, entrance and mounting position against the cage before ordering.
What can I put on the mailbox sign?
The mailbox listing accepts one short side-sign wording. Add the exact names, cage name or short message you want shown.
How should I check a rat hide after it is installed?
Follow the product care notes, wipe the hide with a damp cloth, let it dry fully and inspect fittings and edges during normal cage cleans. Remove it if it becomes damaged, rough or heavily chewed.
