Yes, you can get cones, see below for a link. Order a size medium and large(sorry, I can’t remember which size we got but it’s one of those): https://a.co/d/03Ea1FF7 We currently have one one our lady, who had to go to the vet twice for taking her staples out. This cone works on females and males. PLEASE get soft surgical tape and put it around the inside to prevent rubbing or sanding - see photo. Youll want to readjust the Velcro until it’s tight enough to not come off, but loose enough they can breathe and eat. You can test it by trying to feed your rat yogurt and see if they can swallow it without issue. If your rat has a small neck and the Velcro is hanging over a little and catching on things, use a strong piece of duct tape to keep it down. I actually now use this as a model and trace it on more lightweight/flexible plastic school folders and just make my own. They are a lot lighters and more flexible than the one off Amazon, but the Amazon one still works if you have nothing else. Just be sure to feed her water/milk/water soaked food if she’s having trouble eating! Our gets mashed potatoes and pudding and all kinds of good stuff that’s mixed with her meds too.
