If I buy my rat a fabric bed/toy, will they pee all over it?

Question

I want to buy one of those hanging hammock fabric rat beds for my rat. I also might be interested in buying one of these types of toys:

... or a toy of that type. I've read many happy reviews, and I doubt this, but I was wondering: will my rat pee all over her bed if I buy her one?

Answer 1

They probably will pee and p**p on it, but you could just shove it in a washing machine!

Answer 2

maybe some rats do and some won't

Answer 3

ahah thats so cute!

and the may or may not!

Answer 4

Female rats aren't as prone to urinating/defecating on their beds, as the males are.

Now, she may very well chew it to shreds after a period of time, if kept in the cage with her, though.

My two girls destroy every fabric bed I've offered to them, while my two boys have not removed a single thread, although they have defecated (and maybe urinated) inside of it.

This is why they're machine washable, though. :)

I have not purchased the OctoPlay, but I have gotten the Hide-N-Sleep fish, the 3 level ferret furniture, and random hammocks/tents, even one that was the shape of a boat (that the girls destroyed.)
