This is a picture of the "rat grotto." I built this in about a day. We had one rat and were getting another rat to keep our one company and we needed a bigger place for him. I went to home depot and got a 15" x 96" melamine board and a 12" x 48" shelf cut it and screwed it together. I also got some thing 1/8" melamine for the back. We also cut the 1/8 melamine to fit on the shelf and we wedge the ends of a towel on both edges to hold the towel down, so when we need to change things around it's easy to get the towels up but still too hard for the rats to pull it up.
The doors are 2" pine with some green plastic coated screen dadoed in it. The whole thing probably cost around $50 or so to build and I've got left over 1/8" melamine (It came in a 3x7 sheet) and screen for other projects now.
So far it's a bit easier to clean then the cage we had. Anyway I just wanted to post a picture of this project.
