These fleece ropes are made with scrap fabric in order to avoid wastage, so there may be imperfections in the fabric. The ropes are approximately 20-23 inches long knot to knot, and 1 inch wide. You can use them to hang toys from the centre of the cage. You could also stuff tissue or leafy green veggies into the plaited rope as a foraging challenge. These ropes are big enough for mice and most rat kittens to walk across.
