Crumb is working on learning to combine jumping to hand and fetch! She's doing quite well and has come so far from her initial fetch struggles - great job Crumb!

Bean practicing her favorite trick of agility, while also being on harness! I typically only work agility with my rats off harness, so this was a bit strange for Bean at first - but she was a very confident rat & figured it out quickly!

Latte working on her abacus skills! This bird toy was the perfect size for this trick - I really need to find it again so I can work this with my current rats!

Here's an interesting trick that I've only work with a few rats, that being rebound off a wall! Blackberry here was quite good at it, which considering she was a pretty nervous girl was a really big step confidence wise.

One of my favorite trick chains Mocha worked on - this is such a fun sequence of tricks, and a fun way to use my mini lego chest :P

Coffee in her Pikachu costume practicing her drawer fetch trick! This is one of my favorite tricks and one of my favorite costumes, so it makes for a super cute trick combo!

Coffee learning to stack cups! These cups can be hard to maneuver, so I'm always proud of my rats for figuring out how to pick them up and maneuver them.

A great example of rats having a different opinion on a trick. Feta loves fetch and so does it more enthusiastically, while Pumpkin is less naturally into it and so tries to offer alternative behaviors instead lol.

One of my favorite clips of Butter (fluffy) and Tofu (nakie) playing vs ratsketball! Butter was by far the better player, but she was pretty old here and so Tofu was able to keep up and they made a good match up.

Here Raisin was figuring out the double barrel roll trick! This one is super fun for rats and especially young rats, and their natural agility really lends a hand when learning it!
