Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / May 2005

I never cease to be amazed.

When it's time for the girl ratties to return to their cage from out time,
I've started to call out "OK, ladies, time to go back in".  Then I gather
them up and fight them back into the upper level of their cage.  Today I
make the regular call, and four of the nine.. ooops, ten!.. run back to the
cage and climb in... watching me round up the rest!  Now if the other six
will learn to do the samething, I'll be a happy mom.  I guess it's the
repetition every day.  Yes, I know they are super intelligent, but I'm STILL
amazed!
