Hello everyone,


I´m a new user in this forum and I want to tell u something about me. I´m 26 years old and I live in Germany. I have rats since I was 16. Now I possess nine rats. Seven of them are female and two of them kastrated. They love toegether and llive in a big cage.

Rats are so fantastic animals who can easy learn tricks and other interesting things. I love my rats!
I´m here because I want to speak with other Rat Fans...

Hi and welcome to the forum, i hope you enjoy it here. Have you managed to teach your rats anything?

Thanks

And the second reason because I´m here is to learn the english language.

Back to your question

My rats are allowed to run free in one room. This is the rat room where the cage is. And in the evening my rats are very fit and they want to have fun. I sit on the ground in this room and the rats run around me. I start to train with one rat. The most important utensil is a treat. My rats likes oats corners or other things. Now I hold the treat for the rat nose and the rat want the treat quickly. My rats can do a lot of tricks. One of them is to turn around if I turn my finger in the aerial around. After the trick my rats get a treat. Is it understandable?

Yep that makes sense, it is sometimes called the 'spin' trick here. Have you ever thought of doing rat agility with your rats, it's a lot of fun and you can make obsticle courses out of things lieing around the house too. If they follow very well they should learn that quickly

No, I never think about rat agility. But its a interesting idea. I will think about it. It is easy to learn? How do I start? Do u have some tips for me? I have a rat who loves to do tricks
