I was ordering the rats pumice lava ledges today when a thought struck me.
I get these for the rats and place them around the cage to help wear out their nails as they climb around. They also work under water bottles to catch drips but..I also have a house brick under the main bottle area. The reason for the house brick is the rats have to climb on and off it numerous times a day to reach the bottles and therefore never need a nail trimming because it wears them down naturally.
I was wondering if anyone had tried anything similar with a less tall rough surfaced house brick/slab near their piggies water area to try and naturally wear down their nails? I know there are a lot on here afraid to cut their piggies nails and was wondering if this idea was a viable solution?
