I had a couple pet rats back in my college days and they would figure out ways to escape their cage and end up running around my condo, like a scene from Pinky and the Brain. I ended up realizing that if it was just one rat it would be impossible, but they tend to work together very effectively. Rac died first and Ett went 3 weeks later, I think she missed him.
Dude... I had a buddy that was fascinated with rats and would do all sorts of intelligence tests on em. The best one I've seen is, ahh screw it 1 sec.
Hah, my friend had a couple of rats a while back and they were super smart. One would help leverage this hanging object so the other could climb up on it and get to the food, once one got to the food, the rat then reached down and helped the other rat up onto the stage. It was fascinating to watch how they teamed up to solve problems.
Their collective intelligence and teamwork is ridiculously good.
I had rats for years and kept them atop a door with a low "fence" around it. Every now and then, one would fall out..Said rats were smart enough to know the only way to get back in was to find me and sit on my foot. Once one had got out and I could not find him..Then,that night,as i was brushing my teeth, I felt my sweet rat sit on my foot.
Rats never cease to amaze me. if they had a longer life span, I would still have them.
Their collective intelligence and teamwork is ridiculously good.
I had two brother rats a friend gave me who would team up to get the better of the larger male rats. It was fun to watch.
