Rats are intelligent and social animals that have been domesticated for over 100 years. One of their most notable behaviors is their love of play and exploration. Providing a variety of toys and activities, such as tunnels or climbing structures, can help fulfill their need for stimulation and prevent unwanted behavior, such as chewing on household items. When it comes to training, rats are highly trainable and can learn a variety of tricks and behaviors with positive reinforcement techniques. Litter box training is also possible with consistent reinforcement and patience. Rats thrive on interaction and can become very attached to their owners, making them wonderful pets for those who are willing to invest time and effort into their care.
