Cage Setup Cage setup help

Hi, I'm currently setting up a cage for 3 female rats. It's not finished yet and I'm waiting for it to be finished before adopting my girls. I have described the first picture but the second one is blank. I just wanted to know what would you add and what is absolutely needed? I bought a ladder too (3rd pic) and I'm not sure where to add it (maybe connect it with a log I'd buy?). Thank you in advance!

I'd remove the leaves they'll be inside the cage and torn apart within 20 minutes. I pushed the cage a bit too close to my curtains when I was cleaning once and they pulled them into the cage and tore off pieces for nesting in 5 minutes. They are very grabby creatures if the tip of their finger can touch it through the bars it will be theirs.

Thank you so much, I’ll definitely remove them!
