10 Tricks To Train Your Rat/Mouse First - Mini Tutorials

An updated video on what trick's I'd recommend training your rats first. The first few (spin, paw, come, jump through a hoop, jump to hand) are confidence building tricks, with come possibly being the most important "trick" you can train your rat.

Target, backup, and pull a string are also pretty easy to train, and have the added bonus of being the basis for many more complex tricks.

Finally, fetch and basketball can be considered a bit harder to teach, but are the basis and groundwork for just about every item-based trick out there. I recommend training your rat(s) tricks in this order as well, so by the time you get to fetch and basketball, your rat will already understand that their actions influence if they get a reward or not and you will know how your rat learns, and thus be able to train them more effectively.

Anyway, have fun training, and if you have any questions, feel free to comment them down below.

instructions unclear, my rat ran away and became a chef

[Soesii]

They are incredible! I have a Dutch Shepherd and she can't do as many tricks as your rats lol! I need to up my training 😂

[rat]

Omg thank you ! I wil try this if I get my rats

[francesbeckemeyer]

I have a problem. I have a young rat that won't take any treat from me unless I put it in front of her. Normally that doesn't work and I have tried different ways and she still won't take anything from me. Do you know anything that I could do to be able to start training my rat?

[bonsairohayhu]

Excellent!! query, what do you give him as a prize? Thanks!!

[cats-a-lot]

Omg! My parents said that they would be fine with me getting a rat/ some rats when our corgi gets older so he won’t attack the rat and we can train him to stay away from them. I really hope I can get some! They make me so happy! I love rats!

[olgasnotes]

Do you train rats separately (I mean where are others at that time)? Do you train rats in restricted area and after a walk, or just after you take them out of cage? Thank you.

The first time they did the come command... I LEGIT FREAKED OUT WHEN I SAW HOW MANY RATS CAME

[rishikasharma]

How can you differentiate between any two rats of same colour

2:26 Now come my precious rats, NOW ATTACK!

[savannahkb]

Oh my goodness. When you're made your "come here" noise, my rats both came to me.

[vmpbrry]

Seeing them all just pop out and run into your lap was just the cutest thing ever 😭💕

[emza]

I tried this on my hamster and I just found out his IQ is surprisingly low.

[lavendercrumbs]

I once went to someone's house and they said "C'mere" and slowly about a million chickens started coming over the hill and I was there for about half an hour but they were still coming. The "come" command reminds me of that lol.




one day when I move out of home, I will have trillions of rats hiding around my house so that if someone insults me I can just click my tongue and my army of rats will advance on them.

[marshallmathers]

Thank you so much! This really helped! My 2 rats can now spin :D Sometimes when they see me with food, they spin like 10 times looking at me xD

[ellagoldie]

Have you ever done a TV talent show?? If not, you should. People need to see how incredible this is.

[zalex]

When you did the “come” noise and they just started appearing I died laughing. This is so adorable. Thank you for posting these!!!! Very helpful as a first time rat owner 💕💕

[doro]

Brilliant rat ownership! Stimulating their intelligence with these games is brilliant. Well done.

[stormyrain]

Great video, rats are very smart. You did a good job training them.
