DIY Metal Basket Bed

Turn a metal basket into a bed for your rats or other small rodents! Get a small metal basket. Use wire cutters to cut two holes on one long side of the basket near the top. Cut a piece of thick fabric to cover the inside of the basket and drape over the edges. Poke two holes in the fabric at the spots that line up with the holes in the basket, and put shower curtain rings through the holes. Use the rings to hang the basket on the wall of your pet’s cage, and consider setting a small block or other item near the basket for your pet to use as stairs to climb into the basket if needed.
