@bread315 well teaching a rat tricks is easyest to start with when they are only about a month old thats the time they learn in the most and a bit before that if you start earlyer it will be hard to teach them tricks but not impossible start with what i used to do have a few drops of water on your hand and usually they will lick it out of your hand that way you can start with tricks and always reward them with food or something and most important you cannot force a rat to do tricks.

I'm trying to teach my two males Ben & Jerry tricks, but they DON'T LIKE ANYTHING! I've gone through my whole pantry and they are so picky!
