Rat Supplies

Pet rats are intelligent, social and highly curious animals that need suitable housing, a balanced diet and plenty of opportunities to climb, forage, chew and explore.

At Zoar’s Ark, you can shop a wide range of rat supplies in one place, from everyday food and bedding to cages, hammocks, toys, enrichment and health and care essentials.

Whether you are preparing for new rats or simply restocking the basics, our range makes it easier to find products suited to their everyday needs.

Rat Food & Treats

A balanced diet is important for supporting healthy, active rats.

Suitable complete rat food and balanced mixes can form the basis of everyday feeding, while carefully selected treats can add variety and be used for bonding, training and enrichment.

Fresh drinking water should always be available, and changes to your rats’ diet should be introduced gradually.

Rat Cages & Housing

Rats need spacious, secure and well-ventilated housing with plenty of opportunities to climb, rest and explore.

Multi-level cages can make good use of vertical space, while hammocks, shelves, hideaways and tunnels can help create a more varied and comfortable environment.

Food bowls, water bottles and litter areas should also be easy to access and clean.

Bedding, Toys & Enrichment

Suitable bedding helps keep rat housing clean, dry and comfortable while also providing material for nesting.

Rats are intelligent and active, so enrichment is particularly important. Chew toys, tunnels, climbing accessories and foraging toys can all help encourage natural behaviours and keep them occupied.

Providing a varied environment with opportunities to explore and interact can help support both physical activity and mental stimulation.

Rat Health & Everyday Care

Good rat care starts with suitable housing, balanced food, fresh water, clean bedding and regular observation.

Routine checks of your rats’ coat, skin, claws, appetite and behaviour can help you notice changes more quickly.
