Instructions
Step 1
So, a rat has appeared in your house. First, let her get used to the new environment and smells. On the first day, do not disturb her - after all, the animal experienced serious stress during the move. Be sure to make sure that there is food in the cage and fresh water in the drinker.
Step 2
When the rat gets used to it, you can try giving it a treat. First, you can do this through the grate of the cage, and then treat your pet by opening the door.
Step 3
Rats are very curious creatures. As a rule, they adapt to a new place of residence within a few days. Communication with a person gives them pleasure, so after the rat begins to take food from your hands, you can try to gently pick it up.
Step 4
Place the rat on its lap, give it a small piece of treat. Scratch your pet behind the ear - rats love this very much and begin to squint with pleasure.
Step 5
These animals are very mobile, so let the rat explore the area around. If you want to teach a rat to respond to your name, call it more often and offer a treat. The rat will quickly understand what's what and will run to you at the first call.
Step 6
The more you interact with your pet, the better. Many rats love to be close to the owner, to sleep on his shoulder, to fiddle with his hair. Often times, rats nestle comfortably in pockets or in the folds of a scarf. Some owners of rats are happy to take their pets outside or on a visit; it is not for nothing that these animals are compared in terms of intelligence with dogs. In addition, rats almost never use their teeth, so they are ideal pets for children.
Step 7
Rat training is fun. People who have gotten these animals at least once do it over and over again, since communicating with a rat is a great pleasure!
