It's hard. Some rats are slow.





Shoulder Ride- My rats did this naturally, but they like to ride on your shoulder. To teach them, I guess you'd just pick them up and put them there to they got used to it. I didn't have to train my rats though. This is an easy way to carry them around.





Litter Box- Use a separate type of litter for the box than the main kind, pick up the poop, put it in the box until the rat catches own.





Come When Called- Hold out a treat, a few inches away from you rat and call it's name. When it comes, give it the treat. Gradually increase the distance.





Stand up- Say 'stand', and bring up a treat above your ratties head until they catch on.





Tight rope- Get them used to walking across a piece of rope, and then call your rat when to come across.





Hoop- Use an embroidery hoop or some thing else and call you rat through it, gradually raise it higher. Give your rat a treat.





You can use these methods to teach them other similar tricks, like going through a tube.





Tips- Never punish a rat, only reward it. Treats= success.What tricks can i teach my rats and how do i teach them it?
