Teaching rats tricks?

I want to teach my rats new tricks, and I came across "come" on YouTube. This means that when you call the rat, it will come. 🙂

How do I teach her that?

This is how I taught my cats:

  • Wait until she randomly walks towards you
  • Call the command
  • Feed treats when she is with you

This is called operant conditioning and since rats are very smart, I'm sure it will work 🙂

Hello 🙋‍♀️

I lured them with treats until they sat on my lap and said their name (so there was no uniform command).

But a rat obeyed its name even without training 🙂

Attract with food and a sign of a certain color, at some point she will only react to the color

With reward exercises

You have to do it with command and reward when she does it

This only works with treats.

If she knows that she can get a treat from you on a certain command, then she will learn to come to you very quickly.
