Did not work I tried for hours would not touch the ball just tried to escape where she was and she is tame. I'm not sure why it is not working for me.but when she did touch the ball when I gave her a treat she did not take it even when I left it on the floor.and it did not get the point of the tutorial quickly
My rats dont want treats when there outside their cage.I have two female rats that are young… at first they were food for my moms snakes but i got her to keep them… but if my rats wont eat out there cage should i try something out of there diet like apples or bananas?
Great video! I would suggest using a clicker to be associated with the treat. Timing is everything. Clicking at the exact moment of the desired behavior instead of postponing a treat for half a second (because you're grabbing the treat with your fingers) can make a huge difference.

Good job! I have a similar video posted, where the rat learns to bring the ball to a raised hoop.

Did anyone just stare at the rat when she was showing the items you need?
