Rats Learn To Drive Tiny Cars | The Dodo

[@brianalambert1192]

I get the sense that the rats actually enjoy driving the cars cause otherwise they'd figure out another way to get the treats

[@crystalcat64]

Studies have shown rats will drive little cars even without any actual reward

[@asa_andromeda]

@@crystalcat64they gotta get to their 9 to 5 ! lol

[@ConstantChaos1]

Yup, they love to drive and do it for fun, according to science

[@prima808]

Clearly they have a desire to be in the "car" because surely they'd know that they can run with their own feet and reach the reward treats quicker.

[@SLAYERSARCH]

so sweet i love it

[@y_fam_goeglyd]

Those are very happy rats! It's lovely seeing owners who understand how intelligent they are and give them so much stimulation. I hope they have a long rat life together ❤

[@vondred]

I’m just glad their house is clean

[@LemonHead-sq5ws]

Chinchillas are smarter and cuter and they live 17 years

I have 1 rat who is just the laziest little bug ever but I love him. When I leave the cage open he still just wants sleep lol

[@laradavenport903]

​@@ZoofyzYou are supposed to have two or more rats, not one!😢

[@Adaptibility]

@@LemonHead-sq5ws not smarter though

[@dancepiglover]

1:24 As an animal trainer, I also love that moment when something clicks. I call it the “lightbulb moment.” The animal gets excited because they not only figure out how to get treats, but also because they are learning how to have control of the situation.

[@KeterHirameki]

[@akademikz23]

Yes I call it the "I gotcha moment", also the "screeee scree screee umpa humph scree screeeee" moment

Do you think they get pleasure hormones from this like humans sometimes do?

[@missingmimic]

Krunk and kuzco? Oh I loved the emperors new groove 😂

[@Demodare]

And if we find him we find kuzco. Oh yea it's all coming together

[@leongliyang6946]

So long as Krunk doesn't throw Kuzco off his groove, they should be fine.

they dont stink? lol.

[@lisanoele7996]

I just can't handle the smell of their fresh poop. I had some for a few years in junior high. They both got tumors! 😢 They were so gentle and loving.

[@cerhn]

They're mini puppies.

[@rushnerd]

@@foreverpainful Rats kind of smell amazing. They are the cleanest animals you will find. Like even cats do not obsessively clean to the level rats do. Obviously people who don't know think they are dirty animals, but rarely do you find something so far from the truth.

Instead of targets, I hear they're driving to Walmarts for the better deals. Plus, that's where The Dodo merchandise is at.

That is SOOOOOO CREATIVE & a great experience!!!!! I had (at work) a baby that had gotten into an empty metal bin 4 feet x 4 feet x 4 feet. Dont know how he got it, but it definitely could not get out. So I grabbed the forklift and gently tipped it over. Very groggy. I gave him so water through a straw & some crunched up cat food. Then he left, but then he came right up to my foot and touched it with his nose as if to say thank you!!!! So cute!!!!

[@Nuke1096]

That's amazing. Question though. Are the Rats potty trained? Or do they just randomly poop around the house whenever and wherever they want? We let our Guinea Pigs roam free for a few days once, and quickly realized that was a bad idea.
