Rat safe twine (untreated jute)
Cut the newspaper in half and again down the middle of 2 pages.

An egg tray/carton

Twine
Cut the individual "pieces" of the egg carton and make a hole in the middle of each piece.
Cut twine and knot it at one end.
Thread the egg carton onto the twine in an alternating pattern.
Tie off the other end of the twine with a loop for easy hanging.

Toy 5: Plastic roller toy
You'll need:
Clean plastic containers with lids
A soldering iron
I used an old and cheap soldering iron that was laying around.
WARNING: Do not touch the metal part of the soldering iron when it is on and hasn't cooled down yet, because it is extremely hot and you can get burned quite badly.
Burn various sized holes into the plastic containers.
NOTE: Make sure to do this in a well ventilated room!
You can add few or many, big or small holes, but make sure they are big enough for most food and treats to fall out when it is rolled.
Your rats might chew the holes bigger, this is absolutely okay.
Put some food and treats in the containers.
