Chancy ["Chance-ee"], Bonny, Melody, Lila ["Lie-lah"] my four sweet pet rats. Lila, a fluffy beige velveteen, is featured in my photo and in the background. Pet rats charm. They enthusiastically pop like popcorn. They are highly intelligent and crave social attention from their humans. I hope my videos can convey their magnetism.

I'm very interested in how the Join-Up technique used by Monty Roberts with horses, applies to pet rats. I urge anyone interested in working with rats, to visit Monty Roberts' website http://www.montyroberts.com, as well as his Youtube site, http://www.youtube.com/user..., and investigate his philosophy and techniques. I have created a playlist of Monty's Join-Up videos and will add to the playlist other videos I find on Youtube on the same subject.
