Why foraging matters

In the wild, rats spend most of their active hours foraging. In captivity, a food bowl does nothing for this instinct. Foraging cups recreate that problem-solving challenge , rats work for their food, which reduces boredom and unwanted behaviours. A pair of cups gives you the flexibility to create a scatter-feed station separate from the main feeding area.
