This free printable rat coloring page shows two cute pet rats snuggled up together in a cozy fabric hammock inside their cage, with a little ladder, a food bowl and a water bottle. The rounded shapes and simple cage bars make it a relaxing sheet for kids and grown-ups alike. Like all our printables, it is completely free for home and classroom use.
Fun fact to share while coloring: pet rats are very social and should live with at least one other rat. They love hammocks because they like to sleep high up and cuddled together.
Printing Tips
- The file is a print-ready 2550×3300 px (8.5×11 in at 300 DPI) page. Choose US Letter, or A4 with “Fit to page” turned on.
- Print in black and white or grayscale to save ink. The bold outlines stay crisp on any home printer.
- Use thicker paper (cardstock, 65 lb or 160 gsm) for markers or paint so colors don’t bleed through.
- Want a smaller sheet for little hands? Print at 50% to fit two pages on one sheet.
- Free for personal, family and classroom use. Please don’t resell or re-upload the file.
Coloring Ideas
Try one hooded rat (white with a brown or black head) and one cream or grey rat, then pick a bold pattern like stripes or polka dots for the hammock. Crayons work best for younger kids, while colored pencils and fine-tip markers are great for the small details.
