I know you probably get this all the time, but how on earth did you teach them to fetch like that?! I've trained my rats to spin, stand, kiss, come when called and beg, but I don't even know where to start when it comes to teaching them to fetch!
@quangluu96 all animals carry diseases (including humans!), but rats are actually some of the best pets you can have for avoiding that because after an initial vet visit, they live in a cage in your home and never go outside. the only diseases they get will be ones YOU give them. they are very clean too and much more loving than hamsters. as long as you keep them in their cage and supervise them when they are out you need not worry about them destroying your possesions. :)
@quangluu96 we carry more disease than they. rats are actually quie fastidious. their "filthy" reputation comes from their ability to thive in & cleanup the filth WE HUMANS leave in our wake
AWW haha 2:35, the hooded one does a twirl and it looks like she did it when she didn't really have to, or wasn't commanded too. (Idunno! You may have given a command, I cant' tell :P but it looks like she did a mistake.)
I really want two little ratties but I can't seem to be able to convince my parents!! I even have all the supplies and costs planned out. How can I get them to say yes?
@MusicAnimal98 Mom was the same way, she hates rodents. But then we went to a petstore and I started playing with the rats and got her to play with them too. I got my first rat Melody (the sweetest lil girl you could ever meet), and she totally changed her mind and let me bring her home! just go to a qualified breeder that plays with their rats all the time so they are super friendly. Tell your parents everythign you know about them, if your passion and knowledge doesn't impress, nothing will.
@MusicAnimal98 kill them in their sleep, you could probably play with the rats for about a week or so, the decomposition will stink up the house and you'll get caught if you stay any longer. take their credit card and leave the country but remember to forge a fake suicide note before you do. make one of them sign the paper first, with an excuse like "can you sign without looking" or something along those lines.
good luck and all the best, pet rats are awesome and totally worth it!
@MusicAnimal98 very soon, you'll have your own place. FILL it wit various beasts. cats dogs, (any rodents or lagomorphs you MUST keep caged when not supervised. not for your sake. for theirs. you don't want your rat chewing a cable & frying alive in front of you) never happened to me. but i do know folk whose rats so died.
Awesome tricks mate, I'm definitely going to teach my rats. Sorry you lost your rat too. I lost my first rat just over a month ago. One of the hardest days of my life.
Oh I think you are such a good man, you must treat them so well, they look so happy with you ^^ I really love rats, so cute and smart ^__^ You are really good - I was really suprised to see a rat play fetch :D :) Really nice video :)
Any tips on cutting a rat's nails? My gf and I's rat lucky is a real squirmer (Female rat), we've done it before, but it was definitely stressful for lucky.
@ThatBrettKid this worked for me: put your rat in your lap and give them a treat, but make them stay in your lap. as soon as they start eating the treat, go for the back nails. they'll sit still to eat the treat and will most likely ignore you. when they run out of a treat, give them another to keep them distracted (best to use a treat that takes them a while to get through). the front paws are harder, but once they are eating you can pry away one paw at a time to get the front nails.
@ThatBrettKid i know someone where they got wooden bird perch ladders and wrapped sandpaper around some of the rungs. thay say it dulls the sharp points naturally so it doesnt scratch when you hold them.
So cute! It is amazing have intelligent they are! I've been wanting rats for a while now, but my mom is unsure. I think she thinks they are stinky (not true) and all that
what do people feed rats as treats cus everytime i seee a youtube vid about fancy rats doing tricks they give em something which they eat quite quick?
i got two rats 2 days ago first time so im inexperienced in this stuff, plus there quite young
hey how did you trained your rats to do these tricks, i've learned mine to follow me true the house and to return to there cage when i tell them to, but i have no idea how to let them do those tricks you learned yours
I want anuther pet rat so bad. I had one, she was perfect. Sadly like most rats she only lasted about 2 and a half year, and was plauged by tumors until we had to put her so sleep becuase they got so big, and we tryed operating on her once and she pulled all the stitches out so we couldend do it again. Do they sell rat that dont get tumors?? Or rats that have been spayed or nuterd befor you buy them?
It's definitely not hard to get a rat to do something if food is involved. My rat will stand on her hind legs to take a piece of food from me, and she'll also poke her head into the container I store food into (15cm in diameter) and feed herself. She also recognizes the sound of me tapping on the food jars. I once had a guinea pig that would squeak if someone opened the refrigerator (I fed him lettuce twice a day). lol...
Wow, very awesome. Can you come train Taffy and Pepper? XD Taffy is an a** though and likes to bite at times -_- and Pepper is just lazy. I'm working at getting them a rat wheel or a flying saucer. I haven't yet cause the fricken things are so expensive x.x and I haven't had much money to spare as of late.
I had no idea rats were so smart and sweet - all the ones I've seen bit people and were all around bitter creatures. Maybe the owners weren't that great.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
annoying ugly creatures they are, i like hitting them lightly in the head with a hammer, hard enough to make em have a sezior and spaz out but not enough to kill it right away, though sometimes they die right away but other times usualyl they live have a serzior and are knocked out for awhile
@zimmermanzs But pet rats are caring, intelligent, clean, and loving. They make great companions. You're just rude for posting this comment on a video for rat lovers.
i keep rats for 2-3 months on average, i let em gain trust, i usually have dumbos or fancey and i teach em tricks like that too its easy, and then i feed em to my snake..one time i have a rat tunnel and threw there little ball in it, little did they no i put my snake down in there lmao, ya screams came outta that tunnel, snake got him, sometimes ill dangle one 6 inchesover the snake while it eats the other rat he came to know over the month or 2 ect ect..make him watch what happend and know
aww ive got 6 pet rats and i adore them! they make such good companions and they have such quirky little ways about them lol!! its a shame that most people dont like them cos of there tails but im a rat lover for life :)
this is so cute...i recently just got 2 pet rats and there not very old so i was jsut wondering if there are any tips you could give me when it comes to training them?
This video is such an inspiration. I have three boys (two are now very old) and will be getting four girlies in January and I am looking forward to teaching them all how to do tricks like this when they arrived. I have managed to teach my youngest boy how to circle but teaching fetch would be a great way to give them extra exercise!
I wish the rats that invade my house are the smart, cute and cuddly ones like these,not the filthy stinky thieves who gave me heart attack because of the sudden appearance! =____=
Really nice video, you've done great teaching them fetch that well too. They look really happy.
Question, from one trainer to another .... do you not find that they'll just randomly spin all the time now you've taught them, just in case there might be a treat around? :P
@oPuPo Yes! They spun all the time. I don't know why they picked that trick of all the ones I eventually taught them, but every time I walked by their cage they started whirling like little dervishes. PS- It's an honor to commuicate with you. I learned how to train watching your videos and I point people to your channel when they ask me to make training videos (which I can't because both of my boys have passed and I now live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets).
@oPuPo Funny, my Merdli gravitates toward "spin" when she doesn't know what I'm asking of her. I've heard others have the same issues. I'm not sure why they do that. I've taught three of my rats "walk" (the easiest), and "spin", and I've gotten Merdli to "jump" as well (incredibly cute watching a rat just jump on her hind legs!). But every once in a while, Merdli will get frustrated and just spin. By the way, @significantdavid, GREAT job on "fetch"!
@oPuPo And by the way, you have some GREAT videos out there, and like @significantdavid below, I'm happy to see your name pop up. Not sure if Whiskey and Womble are still around but I fell in love with those beautiful Roans of yours!
This is awesome! Really miss my rats, lost them over the summr. R.I.P Kiwi and Daisy. I'll be posting a few videos of their antics over on my channel, feel free to take a look. n_n
your rats are beautiful and amazing :]

This video is such an inspiration. I have three boys (two are now very old) and will be getting four girlies in January and I am looking forward to teaching them all how to do tricks like this when they arrived. I have managed to teach my youngest boy how to circle but teaching fetch would be a great way to give them extra exercise!

I wish the rats that invade my house are the smart, cute and cuddly ones like these,not the filthy stinky thieves who gave me heart attack because of the sudden appearance! =____=

Really nice video, you've done great teaching them fetch that well too. They look really happy.
Question, from one trainer to another .... do you not find that they'll just randomly spin all the time now you've taught them, just in case there might be a treat around? :P
Thanks for sharing the gorgeous ratties

@oPuPo Yes! They spun all the time. I don't know why they picked that trick of all the ones I eventually taught them, but every time I walked by their cage they started whirling like little dervishes. PS- It's an honor to commuicate with you. I learned how to train watching your videos and I point people to your channel when they ask me to make training videos (which I can't because both of my boys have passed and I now live in an apartment that doesn't allow pets).

@oPuPo i luv your videos i thought my rat to spin and now every time he is out of hes cage he spins like crazy :P

@oPuPo Funny, my Merdli gravitates toward "spin" when she doesn't know what I'm asking of her. I've heard others have the same issues. I'm not sure why they do that. I've taught three of my rats "walk" (the easiest), and "spin", and I've gotten Merdli to "jump" as well (incredibly cute watching a rat just jump on her hind legs!). But every once in a while, Merdli will get frustrated and just spin. By the way, @significantdavid, GREAT job on "fetch"!

@oPuPo And by the way, you have some GREAT videos out there, and like @significantdavid below, I'm happy to see your name pop up. Not sure if Whiskey and Womble are still around but I fell in love with those beautiful Roans of yours!

Awww they are so cute. I had a pet rat Robert, I miss him sooo much. He came when I called, he lived in a shelf, not in a cage.

It's funny because Achilles killed a guy and desecrated his corpse over Patroclus' attempt to make up for his bitching over a girl.

This is adorable . These rat look cute and look intelligent . I didn't know rats could be taught to fetch a ball like a dog .
I used to look after some rats and i can say one thing they don't like doing is having a bath . They hate water. Correct me if i'm wrong?

@WiseOne1224 A yogie is a yogurt drop in solid form; basically candy for rats. You can buy them at most pet stores. :)
