Has anyone used a rat harness on their rat? If so did you buy it or make it?

I use them & I make the harnesses I use

I bought a harness for them... it's meant for igaunas but works okay.

i was going to, but at the store the hamster harness was a piece of string and $20, kinda expensive.......

i bought a ferrit harness for the neighbors rat (cuz im a half-mom to her) at the pet store for like 4 bucks....and its one of the ones thats totally ajustable so it fits her even though she's small

all it takes is a long piece of cord & one of those cord ties that you can find on drawstring backpacks (called cord ties)

I also add a few beads to them for decoration & to distinguish one harness from another since I can loosen them without having to completely change the fitting for each rat.

i bought my last rattie (r.i.p. fatty) a harness and she HATED!!! the thing so much..she was used to running around freely and then we put the harness on her and she looked so sad she kept on shaking, as if she was wet, trying to get it off..so we did our best to try and get her used to it! But one day she went into her paper & cardboard playhouse and took it off, some how, and we never did find the thing...even after we moved! such a lil cutie...but that let us know that she did hate it and to not use one with her!!!

I thought about it, but ended up making a large, collapsible play pen so that they can play in the yard.
