how to make homemad tunnels hammocks and other stuff

Answers:

I have a few suggestions for you.

1. Tunnels

You can buy duct pipes from a store that sells construction supplies. Make sure that these have atleast a 3" diameter, so that it is enough room for your rat to crawl through comfortably without getting stuck.

2. Hammocks

There are many ways to make a rat hammock, but this one, in my opinion, is the best:

Take a pair of jeans that you don't use anymore (other tough material will work fine) and cut off 6 - 10 inches of the leg. Turn the fabric inside-out, and hold it horizontally. Round open sides with a pair of scissors, so that the bottom of the fabric is narrower than the top. Both sides should be symmetrical. Then, cut off the top, and sew the sides closed. Turn the inside-out fabric back normal again, and sew two pieces of sturdy string to the ends. Then, hang your hammock.

3. Places to hide

Cut holes in cardboard boxes so that your rabbit can climb in and out of. Tissue boxes can also work.

4. Chew Toys

Cardboard, chicken bones, dog buiscits, popsicle sticks, maple twigs, and baby teething toys are good chew toys that can help to keep your rat's teeth down. To keep your rat from chewing things that you don't want him to chew, such as furniture, buy bitter apple spray from the pet shop and spray it on the things you do not want him to chew.
