How to teach a pet rat to walk on back legs (.. three steps)

Womble takes us through the steps he took in learning to walk on his back legs.

Again when trying this, don't spend too long training the rat each day, 5 minutes a day is long enough and even at that they are clever enough to pick this up in a few days. This is important too to make sure they are not over-fed during training.

Also don't be in too much of a hurry to increase the step count, take time to get the rats used to the trick and it will make increasing the steps later easier and more stable. Best to basically let your rat dictate how quickly they learn it.

Finally, I'm really not overly happy with this video so i may "re-do" it at some stage, so apologies if its not helpful. More coming soon.

Feel free to ask any questions or give your own tips

@rcfan29 I may not know what this person feeds them, but try Cheerios, or other unsweetened cereal.

@winchesterntk1 I know a lot about hamsters, I personally prefer mice and rats though. You probably can't teach them to do a lot... Hamsters aren't as smart as rats (no offense).

@winchesterntk1 (continuation comment) as for teaching your hamster this, i would figure its the same as teaching a rat.

@winchesterntk1 alot of us do, my friend used to have a hamsters. Personally i think hamsters are ugly, no offense, and my friend's used to bite people and didn't like to be played with. i got pet rats and they are the friendliest pets i've had, i've never had one that bit or hurt someone and they love to be played with. the only other animal that can compete against them are rabbits.

a Hamster learning this? i find it hard to believe, if you manage to do it you should post a video.
