Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / March 2004Stupid Rat
For some unknown reason Baba is removing all the nice food from the bowl in her cage, abseiling down from the wardrobe (the rope's back) sprinting across the floor, climbing onto my bed and hiding everything under my pillow. Are these presents for me? Why hasn't she worked out that her food stashes disappear every time I go to bed? On the plus side she's perfected two ways to get past the rat proofing, has discovered a third and is working on a fouth. Her jumping is also getting better.... oh, and I've just found a towel with loads of little holes chewed through it. Butterflies apparently: me> Grrr rat - look what you've done! Rat> 'looks like moths to me guv' Me> But why would a moth put chocolate drops in the middle of the towel? Rat> 'Hmm, must've been butterflies - they like sweet stuff' The cheeky little blighter. > For some unknown reason Baba is removing all the nice food from the bowl in her > cage, abseiling down from the wardrobe (the rope's back) sprinting across the [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > --- Hey Mark, seems to be the subject to this post should read "very smart rat" instead of stupid...she's got it all figured out!! lol  SignatureJoanne Mom to 13 rats http://community.webshots.com/user/joanneb70 j-s.b@nospamsympatico.ca remove "no spam" > For some unknown reason Baba is removing all the nice food from the bowl in her > cage, abseiling down from the wardrobe (the rope's back) sprinting across the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > discovered a third and is working on a fouth.

You have one very smart rat there I'm afraid...not at all stupid :o) Tracey > For some unknown reason Baba is removing all the nice food from the bowl in her > cage, abseiling down from the wardrobe (the rope's back) sprinting across the > floor, climbing onto my bed and hiding everything under my pillow.

Food really is the only thing she can give you to show that she loves you in her own way. > On the plus side she's perfected two ways to get past the rat proofing, has > discovered a third and is working on a fouth. Her jumping is also getting > better.... You've got one incredible rat. She sounds extremely trainable. You could train her to do some really cool tricks and she would just love all that attention from you. I've been thinking of using clicker training for my ratsies to find out if they can respond as well as dogs do. |
