Your box is the first one that ive seen that appears home made. I intend to make one myself and am curious of how your feeding system works. Any help appreciated.
@MasterSh4ke : This is a cardboard box with plastic glass taped to the front.
The lever is a piece of corrugated plastic with a stick running through it acting as an axle. The lever sticks through a slot of box and the axle rides in the corrugation of the card board box. Tape a heavy nut on the lever on the outside of the box to keep lever up inside the box.
The feeding tube is plastic pipe with an elbow on the bottom end.
The food was dropped down tube manually when rat presses lever.
@TheYellowtulip this isn't to demonstrate how celevr a rat it. It's clearly to show the wonders of what skinner named, operant condiitoning. EVERY living organism can obtain skills through operant conditioning

If an animal is able to learn through operant conditioning, that is intelligence.

Rats are very intelligent animals.
