I am a senior psychology major at Cedar Crest College taking a class on learning theory. Our assignment was to teach our rats a behavioral sequence. My rat was named Scabbers, so I thought it fitting to teach him a magic trick. The idea behind the sequence I chose was similar to the trick magicians do when they switch cups around and a participant has to guess which cup the ball is under. When he performs this trick, the audience doesn’t know that he can see which one the ball is actually under. After he flips all the cup, he does the command “ball” and plays with the ball, passing it between his paws or rolling it across the table.
I hope you like it! I really enjoyed teaching him the trick and am amazed at how well rats can learn commands and sequences such as these.

The rat was like "Camera!" Every time u said "Cup!" Or "Ball!" Soooooooooo cute!

He keeps running up to the camera thinking, "I don't want no ball or cup. I want to find an exit. Is it through this camera lense?"

I love that you named your rat Scabbers! I already got hamsters but I'll probably get two rats after some time, I'd like one of them to be brown to name him Scabbers too (HP-fan for so many years) Really cute vid btw ^_^

I had two pet rats named Ralph and Calvin, they were AMAZING pets! I adored them! Too bad Ralph died from a freak mystery disease and Calvin died from a tumor bigger than a soft ball. My poor little buddies, I miss them 🙁

Rats need a lot of room- they're not like other tiny animals :)… You can do research at this good forum called "ratforum" if you google it!
