The Great Outdoors
Whether is's a sit on the front lawn or a walk into town every animal loves the sun and fresh air of the outdoors. Here are some ways to let your rats safely enjoy their trip out of the house.
Harnesses
A curious rat might wander off without knowing it and then become lost. A harness gives an extra element of safety. But remember that a rat can still squirm out of a harness and a predator, such as a neighborhood cat, can come out of nowhere without warning. You can buy a harness or make your own tailored to your rat's own measurements.

Outdoor Enclosures
You could just bring your rat's cage outside... or you could make or buy an enclosure so your rat can run around in the grass. Look out for poisonous or suspicious plants.
