I just bought my rats an igloo, stuck it in the cage where the wooden hide used to be (I put the hide up one shelf) then left. The next time I checked the cage, all the bedding in and around one side of the igloo was all shoved out!
Is that normal? I was curous, 'cause they didn't do it with the hide O_O

Yep, mine pushed bedding out of their igloo before I switched to fleece. And they would push bedding out of the corners if they wanted to sleep there. I only have one rat who will actually sleep on the bedding... the rest of them just push it aside.

My girls used to shove all the bedding out of their "bed" and use their box as a dining room. But I recently started using recycled shredded paper as bedding for them and now they all love to sleep in there and make a little nest.

Okay, good. I thought is was just normal rat behavior, but I wanted to bge sure XD
