I have always made my own hammocks with a face towel and paperclips through
each corner to attach to cage. Baby rats love sleeping in empty tissue
boxes (although these will be chewed to pieces after a few days!), but you
can buy nice pet igloos from pet stores. I also bought a small square
plastic tub from the local bargain store and cut a hole in the side to make
a cosy house which the rats loved.

I, too, use small boxes that are empty of their contents. Saltine,
oatmeal, tissue, etc, I used any cardboard box...my hubby throws them away
and I fish them out of the trash. Between my zoo, leftovers and trash, we
have a 'no waste' household.
For a more permanent shelter, plastic shoe boxes from the dollar stores are
what we use. In the multi-level cage one box is upright with an old shirt
or other bit of fabric, for a cozy bed... on another level a box is turned
over for a hideout. Different personalities, different sleeping/comfort
areas.
Hammocks, are sleeves and legs of clothing, cut off and hung with those
plastic straps used to secure wire bundles.

We use babygrows, usually bought from Charity shops (for about 50p to
1ukp), with a jumbo paperclip through each arm & leg. They love being
able to climb inside :)
