Train rat to steal?

Question

please help me!

Answer 1

Lol well great question. I have many rats and most of them reply to treats, like fruit but the other's enjoy little noises. If you use noises to tise them back and treats to get them into the wallet.The only thing problem is after the rat has found the treat it will stop 2 eat it... lol

Answer 2

Good luck with that one lol.......

Answer 3

I actually can't believe that you are serious.

Answer 4

heh..funny question.

Dollar bills might be tricky though, as rats will eat paper sometimes.

You might be better off getting him to steal the whole wallet... or perhaps a piece of jewelry or something.

You have the right idea though, train and reward. Everytime he brings you something, you feed him. Maybe he'll get it?

good luck... and heh..very funny.

Answer 5

practically impossible

and not the best idea

The rat could eat the dollar and get sick or rip it to shreds

Answer 6

Take a look at www.clickertraining.com  Or google clicker training rat for more advice.

I have seen video of a rat being trained over about a week 7-5 minute sessions to kiss a toy rat using clicker training and I don't doubt that you could train your rat to take money from a wallet.

You can use the metal cap from a snapple bottle to make the noise and use very small treats.  

I think you would need to teach him to take the money first and then stick it in a wallet.  It'll probably take a while but I'm sure it's possible!
