My husband uses K-cups for the Kuerig coffee machine and they just pile up in the trash. The company is working on a way to recycle them, but because of the heat the plastic has to endure during brewing the plastic they use can't be recycled. But what about making rat toys out of them? My rats have chewed up the edges of the plastic pan for there cage flooring and also a plastic food dish and haven't had any adverse effects, so why couldn't the K-cups be cleaned out and hung around the cage or just something for them to carry around? At least the K-cups would be making themselves useful a second time. Let me know your NICE thoughts on this idea. Thanks.

I usually rescue rats from the feeder tanks at pet stores (a rat from a breeder is always going to be a pet) and most times they take them from mom too soon. I'm still nursing my 9 month old and can pump milk. Is this milk safe and healthy for baby rats or the wrong type of nutrition for them? I searched the internet and can't find a single thing on it. I suppose it is a bit of a strange question.
