First time owner cage

Hey, I'm trying to take in as much info as I can and I know these aren't the most preferred cages (I will save up for a critter one!), but I currently have my two little rescue boys in here.

I've taken out three platforms and just left two to put water/ wash bowls on (they prefer these to a bottle, more natural i guess?) and their litter trays.

I do want to get a perspex box for digging at the bottom, but I'm currently using a cardboard box with shredded paper for them to forage for treats in.

Is there anything else you'd recommend? I'm unsure of substrate for the bottom level for them if I'm honest.

I've had my boys a few months now and they are getting better but definitely still a bit shy. I don't know what their experience was before but they were both rescued feeder rats so I'm being patient with them 🧡
