Rat Training 4-Jump through a Hoop

Obviously this video is about training a rat to jump through a hoop. Then next will show you how to train a rat to fetch.
I got the idea for the hoop trick when that Mother of mine said that I'm teaching my rats so many trick that I'ed end up making them jump through hoops...so I did! Enjoy!

@MasterOfTheMidgets I read that you should always treat the rat when they do the trick you told them to, even if they know it very well and have done it for ages... Do you continue to treat them or do you stop once they know the trick well. Oh, and where did you get the hoop?

P.S. You're videos are great, I love them!

@TheVivaciousNerd Thanks =D When I had these two I always rewarded them afterwards but you can test whether they're actually learned the trick by removing the reward on occasion. ;D

@joiishin I think it took about two weeks if not a little longer. The most important thing is to do each stage gradually even if it seems the rat can move much quicker. Theres always a chance your rats can get confused if you try to do too much at once.

Oh and as a treat you could try biscuits, breakfast serial, fruit or well basically anything thats not overtly un healthy or packet with sunflower seeds.
