About this piece

A hanging acorn rat foraging garland with three separate treat cups and artificial ivy.

Fill the three open acorns with small dry treats, dried herbs or scatter feed, then hang the garland from standard wire cage bars using the included clips and chain. The cups sit at different points along the woodland-themed garland so rats can investigate more than one feeding spot.

Included: one garland with three acorn cups, artificial ivy, chain and cage clips

Approximate total length: 40–60 cm; each handmade piece varies slightly

Use: suitable dry food or treats in indoor rat cages

Production: Handmade to order in Cumbria. Dispatched in around 7 working days.

How to use it

Secure both ends to suitable cage bars, make sure the chain and clips are stable, then place a small amount of your rats' usual food or treats inside the open acorns. Position it where the cups are reachable without obstructing doors, ramps or other cage routes.

Care and safety

Wipe the acorn cups with a damp cloth and allow them to dry fully before refilling. Check the cups, chain, clips, cord and artificial ivy during normal cage cleans. Remove the garland if any component becomes loose, damaged, rough or heavily chewed.

Delivery: Free UK shipping. Tracked international shipping is available at checkout.

Standard unused items can be returned within 14 days of delivery in their original condition.
