bedding of any sort except for pine. Newspapers will work too, but I find bedding is more comfortable especially for older rats, and also better quality

What is the name of the cage in which rats are kept?

Why are rats afraid of cages?

Not all rats are afraid of cages. My rats have always loved their cage, and when let out to play would wander in and out at their leisure. If you have rats who are afraid of their cage maybe there is something in the cage they do not like, maybe the cage is too small, maybe the cage is not comfortable enough or in a good position. Maybe there is something near the cage that scares the rats or maybe they do not get enough playtime and then resist going back into their cage. There are many reasons why a rat may be fearful of their cage, so there is no definitive answer.

How did the rats escape from the cages in The Rats of Nihm?

They learn how to read in NIHM. Justin, a rat, learns that the cage has a metal tab on the edge of the cage. The tab says "pull nob out and slide". Justin noticed the nob is under the cage about 1-inch. Justin followed the directions on the metal tab. The cage opens. He tells Nicodemous, a rat, to do the same thing, and the news spreads throughout the room.


What was Justin able to read on his cage in the Rats of NIMH?

Justin was able to read "NIMH" on his cage, which stood for the National Institute of Mental Health. This indicated that the rats at the laboratory had been subjects in experiments conducted by the institute.
