[Amon666Amarth]

[jamSbVc]

[Xirnefer]

Hey! She got reward! It's easy... :D

[DaGuittarMan]

ahhaha the way she jumps on her way back to you is so cute

[Sieka3]

How did you teach her to fetch? Can you make an instructional video? I wanna teach my rats cause it's really cute and looks fun. ;P

[OlBlueshound]

Rats are the best huh, lovely little critters. Had 8 of them over the last 10 years, all of them different yet the same. Just like little dogs. Good on ya for sharing this video, thanks.

[MsGymnast4life]

thats so cute ow would you make a tutorial?

[DumboRats8998]

did the rat just pee or itch at the end?

[Egondv]

@DumboRats8998 neither... it scratched itself

[DumboRats8998]

@Egondv isn't itching the same as scratching?

[Egondv]

@DumboRats8998 No, not at all... scratching is what you do when something is itching...

[MrSweatyPants]

rats are under- estiimated creatures, i love them. yes true, their tails might be unatractibe to soome, but you would not get a cat to fetch.

very clever animals. great pets

[mywingsareyours]

@MrSweatyPants My cats all fetch...

[Icameplz]

@MrSweatyPants Oh, but I do have a cat that fetches toys. :D

[squirrelfry]

I am always amazed by your fetching rat! I tried (for a bit) with my rats - their favorite items are erasers! but too many poor erasers have been demolished by ratty teeth... I stuck with the easier tricks. :)

[gbuddy180]

How old were your rats when you started training them? i got mine a couple days ago and i dont knowwhen i should start to train them

[Caity116]

Good question!

Get them used to you and your house for a bit (maybe a week or two), and as soon as they start trusting you lots, I'm sure they'll be more than willing to do tricks for treats! ;)

[hushhushnews]

how did you train her to do that i spent like 5 hours trying to train my rat , Ziva, to just go get the thing in the first place never the less pick it up and bring it back

[Radi0starrzx]

I haven't got a rat but maybe an idea to help you... perhaps put their favourite food in whatever they are fetching? :D

[BlueIceInc]

Adorable! Very well trained :) I plan on getting two rats from a breeder in a few months and look forward to teaching them some tricks!

[boardsnow44]

it's like a dog meowing....i didn't know a rat could play fetch

[killkayla]

please help me, I ned to teach my new pet rat to do some tricks for my psychology class, I want to teach him how to fetch but i'm not exactly sure how to go about doing it, since you and calisto are the fetching masters i figured you would be the one to ask

[angelscry17]

its a lot cuter with the sound off lol

[millineu]

hehe, yea, the sound is pretty repetitive, but hey, it's necessary

[apollostudios]

Aww very cute i have a rat of my own how did you trian her that?

[Evilhamster95]

Aww ;)

[ColiCza]

OMW that is sooooooo cool i vote only way i can get my rat to do that is if i did it myself hehe

[beastie79]

LOLOL TOO CUTE!!I want to teach mine to fetch! What do you give them as a treat?

[HakusChakra]

You would most likely give a rat some bread or spcialised chocolate as a treat :)

[plasticseraphim]

Very cute! How did you teach her to fetch?

[colla16]

SO cute!!

[dragonofdiamonds]

Wow, that's great! She's so cute when she bounds toward the camera :) Fetch is one of the things I have yet to teach my rats :P How did you go about doing it?
