Rats make burrows because in the wild they burrow into the ground for homes. Rodents like to feel safe in their houses and they like to hide underground so that birds and other predators can't see them when they are sleeping.

You can help your hamster by giving it some hamster nest cotton from the pet supply store, or you can give it some unscented regular toilet paper. The hamster will use these to make the house comfier.

What does rat-arsed mean?
It means very drunk. I think it came from a medieval torture method,where a rat was placed on the victim's stomach and a bucket placed on top of it. The bucket was then heated and the rat would burrow into the victim's stomach trying to escape. It would eventually come out of the victim's backside.The victim would be dead (from bleeding) by this stage. So being truly "rat-arsed" is not a good thing.
