Shadow The Rat - Best Rat Tricks (Compilation)

[@ShadowTheRat]

It's awesome to see how many people have been inspired to train their rats by Shadow - for anyone looking for tips on how to train some of these tricks I'm going to link a video I made featuring Shadow and several of my other rats that shows the step by step bits of teaching 10 tricks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4PLZaqbgpZsp8U Good luck and happy training!

[@trixaicu]

I miss rats so much. I want to thank you for widening the view of rsts. I do socialize fosters for my local Humae society. So you videos help them as well

[@royyyyyyyyyy]

I've started training and I didn't even realize how smart my rats were! They pick up tricks faster than I thought they would. They seem happier too. I think learning makes them happy

[@opalwithasideofbird3234]

I want a rat badly

[@Anne-bl5ib]

Can you train hamsters? Probably not, they aren't as smart. However I can't get a rat because they are quite expensive.

[@impassable]

Amazing what you do with these rats..Just wish they had a little longer life span

That’s exactly what I thought too.

[@BirdmanVeganFuture]

Such smart animals, like dogs. We need to petition to ban Cruel Glue Traps, Posion bait in favor of catch release or birth control and staying cleaner. Also stop needless animal testing as cosmetics on them or bunnies

[@putrefiedprim]

Shadow's real talent was her ability to bring us all together.

It's been exactly one month and a day since Shadow passed away. This is a video I was meaning to make a while before she passed, as it chronicles my favorite tricks that we worked on together.

[@sister_of_shane_3945]

Shadow The Rat I love you so much yours so nice to the rats by the way I have had to mice 🐭 for 6 months to 1 year now what would be a easy trick to teach them😍

Sorry 2

[@Aiv3rs]

the video made me cry ._. watching him knowing that he wasn't here anymore

[@ShadowTheRat]

Spin, paw, or come would be some of the best first tricks to train your mice. After that, I usually train either backup, agility, or fetch.

Hansen Welder..there was a movie some years ago called Willard about a bunch of criminal rats. I think they were trained for revenge not bank robbery. Of course the rats turned on the bad guy. Must have been interesting to train so many.

[@betsyveritas1055]

Shadow was an unbelievably intelligent & well trained character. Very sweet. So sorry for your loss.

[@bohemianrat8191]

Wow. Shadow really was a unique, intelligent and special rat. I understand how hard it is to lose a rat so dear to your heart. My three rats just passed away within the last few months, all were pretty close to three years and one was a a little over three. I love your channel and enjoy watching your videos. You have great content that I can't seem to find anywhere else (like your fetch tutorial vid) I had an old channel that I did some trick videos with my late rats but I've decided to start fresh with a new channel, I think it's better that way. I will be getting a few new ratties soon, I can't stand to be ratless. Keep up the good work!

[@ShadowTheRat]

I'm so sorry about your ratties, it truly is so hard to see them go after only a few years with them. Its amazing how much you can bond with such a small creature in such a short amount of time. Shadow was the last of my first trio of rats, and she definitely inspired me to train them. She was a mischievous little rattie, but that's part of what made her so much fun to work with. One of my solaces is that she died of spontaneous natural causes that I couldn't control, and that she was content until the day she went. It's so hard for me to imagine being ratless right now, and I hope that time doesn't come anytime soon. Getting Cookie and Cream definitely helped me when I was grieving over Shadow, and they were more of a "surprise" purchase (someone posted an add for young rats on craigslist in my town, which is so rare that I had to jump on the chance). I hope you get the chance to get some ratties soon, they really are one of the best companions out there :)

[@JustKube]

i cri about your rat 😔

[@nicholas8nj]

What a beautiful smart rat. You have went over and beyond making a great friend as your pet. I'm sorry for the lost and know you were very patient and kind. She's in heaven and you got another wing " It's A Beautiful Life" 100% 💯 Thumbs up

[@eliseheartless4636]

I love how intelligent rats are. How long does it usually take you to teach a new trick to your rat?

[@nikkiperry1236]

Oh goodness it would be soooo cute if you were to have the whole mini brand set up like the store background, register like the whole works, then pack a "fake" mini brand order and then have shadow push the little buggy around like he's the one shopping..would be totally adorable! I never used to like rats until I got one for my daughter and he was the sweetest little thing and I fell in love, lol we now have 4 rats ❤

[@superbmediacontentcreator]

What a bright and energetic creature. You've spent endless hours training her... I am so sorry that these guys only live a couple of years...

[@greenscarab2]

I love rats. I think they are one of the most misunderstood animals on the earth. But thanks to videos like this we see how smart and affectionate they are. Makes great pets, but need attention or will get depressed and lonely. Thank you for this video, its really a good one😊🎈💕

[@getreal2977]

That was adorable. Thanks for sharing. Reminded me of a wild rat I brought home 43 years ago and my dad was first a bit shocked at first at the pretty large animal in my arms. It was a very early experience for me in my life with death as the rat was obviously poisoned. As I found him it looked very scared but calmed down in my company as I rubbed its head and back gently. My dad got a shoe box were we placed him in and I stayed with the rat until he eventually passed. Later we buried the rat in the box in a forest line by a park. That experience had a very profound, positive effect on my life as it shaped my general philosophy on life and dealing with other beings in general. I never forgot that rat in my life and do miss him very much.
