What buyers say
9 reviews on this pieceThe skull nest is so cool, the quality is great and looks just as it does in the photos. The girls are still getting used to it, but I'm sure they'll be sleeping and playing in it soon!

This was much bigger and also much more awesome in person! If I could give it 10 stars I would. The quality and appearance is amazing. As a rat lover and Pokémon fan, this was a must purchase for me. Mounting was easy, and for as hefty as this skull is, it's holding strong. Would definitely buy from Ripley's again!

Love it! It's lighter than I expected from the size, but I'm not familiar with the material so I don't think it being light is a bad thing! It's not gone in the cage yet because it's a Christmas present (sort of for the rats, sort of for my partner) but it'll be fantastic when it does. It came with some treats which was very kind. My rats have figured out they're being kept in a tub near the cage, and they STARE at that tub, wherever I move it. Sounds like appreciation to me!
