Thanks for reaching out about Clubs. Many of the commercially available products are fine but individual likes are different for rats. Wooden toys are good for chewing but can be unappetizing to rats. You can try making your own by purchasing untreated pine blocks, and panting/soaking for a few hours in a beef broth, to make appealing. Good luck.
