About this piece

A pair of mushroom rat foraging cups for hiding small treats, dried herbs or scatter feed around the cage.

Mount the two cups to standard wire cage bars with the included metal fittings, then place them together or at different heights to create more than one feeding point. The mushroom shape adds a woodland theme without obscuring the open cups.

Included: two mushroom foraging cups and metal cage fittings

Approximate size: each cup is 7 cm high x 6 cm wide

Use: small dry treats, dried herbs or scatter feed in indoor rat cages

Production: Handmade to order in Cumbria. Dispatched in around 7 working days.

How to use them

Attach each cup to suitable wire bars, check the fittings are secure, then add a small portion of your rats' usual food or treats. Position the pair where they remain accessible without obstructing doors, ramps or other cage routes.

Care and safety

Wipe with a damp cloth and allow the cups to dry fully before refilling. Do not submerge or pressure-wash. Check the fittings and mushroom tops during normal cage cleans and remove a cup if it becomes loose, damaged, rough or heavily chewed.

Delivery: Free UK shipping. Tracked international shipping is available at checkout.

Standard unused items can be returned within 14 days of delivery in their original condition.

How it fixes: a headless bolt screws into a threaded metal insert in the piece, goes through the cage and is held on the outside with washers and a wing nut, so it tightens by hand. Fits cage bars up to about 2.5 cm (1 in).

Common questions

What is included?

Two mushroom-shaped foraging cups and the metal fittings needed to attach them to standard wire cage bars.

What can I put in the cups?

Use small dry treats, dried herbs or a portion of your rats' usual scatter feed. Choose food that is already suitable for your pets.

How large are they?

Each cup is approximately 7 cm high x 6 cm wide.

Can I position them separately?

Yes. The two cups mount independently, so they can be placed together or at different accessible heights.

How do I clean them?

Wipe with a damp cloth and allow them to dry fully before refilling. Do not submerge or pressure-wash.

How long do they take to make?

They are handmade to order in 7 working days. Free UK shipping and tracked international shipping are available at checkout.
