I want to teach my rat tricks?

Question

I dont know how to do it and I would like to learn how. For a reward would peanut butter work? I havent been to the store to get them yogies yet =D. I would like you to give me a link or detailed instructions for some nice and simple tricks (=

Answer 1

They are about as smart as dogs, so think along those lines when setting up your expectations. If you give them a big treat, you'll have to stop your teaching to let them hide/eat it. A lot of rats like yogurt from a spoon, or  a tiny sliver of fruit (think something they can eat in less than five seconds).

Answer 2

Ive got some videos from youtube

But DO NOT feed them peanut butter, its like, uber dangerous! They can choke on it because its super sticky! Try raisins, my babies love them. :]
