> 3 dayWe hang this from the ceiling of our rats main cage, and also use it on its three feet when we put them in their alternate cage. They are always hanging out in it, and even as both our ratties have grown, they still often find a way to both fit themselves into the large pod. Sometimes both of their heads will poke out of the same opening, other times they face different ways and we get a big laugh when we see them tucked in that way. If there is one thing both of our rats have immediately liked, and still use every day, even after a year, its this item. Im planning on getting a second one for the second cage, since the ratties like to line the pod with scraps and get annoyed when I move it around.

> 3 dayMy rats LOVE their “ufo”! It only fits into the “ceiling” of their cage and not the floor but that’s fine. Only thing is the part that clips on is starting to warp and seem looser. Still works but definitely shouldn’t be stretching the “legs” wide because that was my mistake .

> 3 dayI see fb and youtube videos of peoples rats hanging out in these but my girls dont use it at all not even sometimes. The product is good quality and good in other ways just have no interest from my girls to use it. I have even tried hanging it and placing it on the cage floor.

> 3 dayMy rats love this product and even though theyre 3 big ol boys they manage to all cram in there despite having plenty of other places to sleep. Its really easy to put together and take apart and clean. And I just stick some fleece in it to make it a little more comfortable. They only negative I can think of is when hanging it from the top of the cage the spots that clip on dont seem angled very well so I usually dont do that because Im worried itll fall down when theyre in it.

> 3 dayWe got this for our rats. Its the perfect size for them. We threw some strips of fleece in there, and they seem to be enjoying it. We have it hanging from the top of the cage.

08-06-2025I bought the large space pod for two juvenile pet rats and they LOVE it! Theyre asleep inside of it most of the day and whenever I take it out to clean it they go crazy. Unfortunately this product is somewhat difficult to adjust on a wire cage. You will need to bend it in a certain way for it the roof on it to fit. I have also tried to make it stand upright (large piece set on the floor) and the bottom cup simply falls out. Otherwise the rats approve. I may need to buy another one for them once theyre both full grown.

> 3 dayGreat solution to pets always chewing up/soiling their hammocks. My rats destroyed everything fabric that I put into their cage, so for a while they didnt have anything, and I felt terrible that they didnt have a high place to sleep. This is a great substitution, you just wipe it out to clean it, and the rats still love it even though its not soft like the fleece ones. It just clips to the top of the cage!

Greater than one weekI dont know what the deal with rats and space pods is, but they LOVE them. My boys sleep in it all the time, either alone or piled on top of one another. This is the second one Ive purchased. Now theres one in the bottom of their cage and one in the top. Both get used daily. My boys especially like to drag paper towel/fleece/bedding into the space pod so that they can nest. These are easy to install in a cage and just as easy to take out and apart, making them very easy to keep clean. I would highly, highly recommend this product.

> 3 dayMy girls love it. All six of them try to pile into it, it’s easy to clean, and it’s withstood their little rat teeth pretty well! It was easy to attach to the top of the cage.

> 3 dayThis is a perfect, sturdy, versatile hidey hole for rats. It can hang from the top or sit on the bottom. Its smooth plastic material is ready to clean and comes apart into separate pieces. Theyre even disinterested in chewing on it. Our Mama rat insisted on raising her babies inside it even. Nice and cozy and secure. Its easily their favorite place to snuggle. It comfortably accommodates three adult females, but I have also seen all 11 rats squished into it at one point while the babies were growing.
