I would line the floor pans with more fleece. One layer will be fine if they aren't heavy chewers. This gives them extra cushion on their feet and makes the whole cage a cozy place to nap.
If you do this, I'd also suggest a slab of some sort. I use countertop samples, but slabs of granite etc. are easy to purchase at a Home Depot or other DIY type store. This will provide a solid, cool surface to lounge on as well as keep the fleece anchored in that corner.
Tunnels! My ratties love their plastic, pvc, and cardboard tunnels. An alternative would be to use an empty tube of Quaker oats and punch out the bottom. Just throw them away after a few days to avoid grossness.
Scrap the wheel. If you can, try to get a solid plastic wheel without any wire. The wire wheels can catch their toes, tails, etc. They're also harsh on the bottoms of their feet.
Hammocks and hanging fleece tubes of all kinds are highly recommended. To name a few:
Pirate Hammock - $14.32
Pyramid Hammock - $10.21
Simple Hanging Tunnel - $7.00
Parrot toys and ladders also work well, just be sure they aren't made of pine. Pine is toxic to rats. Other types of "Soft Wood" are also harmful (softwood trees are cedar, Douglas fir, juniper, pine, redwood, spruce, and yew). Products and tree branches made of these are not safe to use in the cage.
Especially for young rats, it's important to let them climb. A thick rope, such as this parrot perch are excellent climbing toys. The clips attach firmly to any wall of the cage.
You can get as creative or as simple as you like!

ah need [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Super-Pet-Ferret-Sleeper-Sleep-E-Tent/dp/B000BL0BK2/ref=pd_sbs_petsupplies_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0E2XN5N7TF07SS7V5WFD) tent for my ferret. He wore his other one out! :o
He loves to find dark places to just chill (as ferrets do), and I'd prefer it be in here than under my fridge, which is his current..erm...nest.
Thanks for the contest!
