Chicken bones are 100% fine for rats, they are one of the few animals that can eat them safely. They chew in such a way with their front teeth that there are no small fragments, the bone is basically chewed into a mulch. It's the same reason not to worry if they chew plastic. They will spit any large pieces out to be eaten later or ignored. | |

Rabbit ears might be another option. As for chicken bones, I'd be careful regarding small/sharp bone fragments though. | |
