- My 4 pet rats Oskar, Alfie, Theo and Bertie show great new tricks and the best of the old tricks they have learned. You will see tricks such as operating a pulley, playing cards, raising a flag, rolling a bottle, fishing and many more.

A wonderful video of Nadines special little boys. I love Bertie and Oskar. Alfie and Theo are just as lovely. These videos are very uplifting and can't get enough of them.
These are my favourite rattle videos on CZcams. The end of the video where Oskar and Bertie are being weighed and have a squabble is hilarious.
Just love it. What special boys they all are. You have trained the boys well and they all sweet. Rats are so clever. I love my three boys very much my ones I named my two all brown ones Bertie and Oska and my Brown and white one Roland.
I have only in the last few days got all my boys sitting altogether on my shoulders.. and how sweet they look. My Bertie loves to press his head underneath my chin and sleep while I sing to him and rub my cheek on him. Then change places so they can all have a cuddle..
How nice. It sound like you and your rats have such a good time together. I sometimes miss having rats but I still have budgerigars, at least they live much longer than rats but unfortunately are not as affectionate.
I still love this video, it definitely inspired me to train my own rats!
That is great. I hope you and your rats have as much fun with training as I (and my rats) had. They are now quite old, they still remember all their tricks but are not as active anymore. Bertie also has problems with his legs.
Hello from a future subscriber, shadow the rat!
Shadow The Rat boi two of my favorite youtubers are here and same
SHADOW THE RAT OMG.
GRINS...Very nice (the Black Forest looked very realistic ;-)
Adorable! Thanks! :)
Oh my, I’m in heaven!...what beautiful, healthy-looking rats!❤️😊
I’m really interested in what you feed them - they look so plump and healthy!❤️❤️❤️
GORGEOUS SPECIMENS!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for your comment :-) I fed them the Science Selective Rat Pellets which have all the essential minerals and vitamins and also lots of fruit and vegetables. Occasional they got some pasta, rice and cereals. I checked their weight regularly as I did not want them to get too fat, especially as they got little treats as well during the training.
They are all gorgeous, but Bertie is something else...!
Oh, Bertie's eyes ❤ They all are so pretty.
Bertie made me laugh my head off. Brilliant !
I love your Rats. They are adorable. I love watching your videos. They are all so cute.
Thank you very much :-)
Aw theyre so adorable!!
The rats are wonderful, I had two and they create a very special bond with humans. Only who has them knows.
Very true! :-)
When Bertie was falling i just LAUGH!!! It was su cute and they have to be proud of they self
This is very cute! i love how you have little backgrounds for the different tasks the Ratties do, like with the little boat! Really good job!
I love your boys. They are just so cute! They seem to be enjoying themselves so much when doing these tricks, too. Thanks for the video.
They really enjoyed doing all the tricks. All 4 are getting old now and Theo needs quite a lot of special care. He only wants to eat babyfood which I have to hand-feed. Alfie is the opposite, he is still quite fit and even still climbs onto the cage sometimes. They have still moments when they try to do some of the tricks.
Impressive, incredible, awesome!
Sehr schönes Video und Deine Ratten sind super, das hat bestimmt auch viel Spaß gemacht sie zu dressieren. LG aus Germany
This video is so cool!😎😊 I love your rats! ❤😍
Aww they are so cute! I'd love to have rats someday :)
They clearly love playing with things. You don't need to reward them every time, they do it just for the fun! Intermittent rewarding increases their (and our :) enthusiasm
They only got rice krispies most of the time, but you are right, you don`t have to reward every time they do something right.
you have wonderful talented friends, thank you for posting
Thank you :-)
Oh, I laughed so much - especially in the end. Your rats are so adorable and you have teached them well!
Thank you :-) It was really fun training them and they enjoyed it as well.
I just love rats.
Thank you :-) I liked training my rats and the rats liked it as well. It was also a good way to interact with them.
nicely put together
AHH! So cute! Your ratties are so smart! I love the little sets you make for them XD
Ve ry good cute ve ry nice bé chuột de thương đáng yêu quá đi
Waw incredible 😱👏🏻👌🏻 thank for this video 😘❤️
jajajjajaja lol lol lol lol I love your ratties!!!!
And every second that you spent teaching them... so patient you are.
+ldiegoes Thank you :-) My rats are getting old now and are not so keen on learning new tricks now. But they still like to do their old tricks, at least some of them (especially pulling strings).
Oscar looks like the brother rat from the movie "Ratatouille".
Awesome tricks! :) I love all the little props for them too, so cute and creative.
+Spartan's Tricks Thank you :-) It is always fun to think of a new trick the rats could learn and then to build the props and try to teach the trick. It is not always working but most of the time :-).
Nadine Mitschunas
I do the same thing with my guinea pigs, haha. It's so fun to train small animals, isn't it? The little props are so cute and fun to make. :) And even cuter to see the little guys use them.
Wicked!!!! Thanks for posting :-)
Bé chuột de thương đáng yêu quá đi. Ước gì có 1 bé chuột như vậy. Ve ry good cute. Ve ry nice
Awwwwwwww cute babies 🤗😍
merci Nadine
Just adorable what a great job I happen to have 6 ratties my self .💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤
Nice :-)
Aaaaaaawwww! So clever! So cute!!
that was absolutely amazing!!!
Beautiful music choice!
Thank you :-) It always takes a while to find the right music for my films but I have a little collection now so it is getting easier.
Smart rats!
Умненькие!
two of the rats are named after thomas and friends charecters!
Bertie is my favorite, he's so goofy
He was also the cutest rat I ever had :-)
Bertie is my favourite too. Love your videos. If only I could copy some
Amazing tricks! But aren't some of those things you taught them kind of annoying? I mean like untying shoelaces and opening jars :p great vids, really makes me want to have ratties again :)
Thank you :-). They don`t open jars all the time or untie shoelaces ;-), they only do it if I encourage them. Now they are in retirement and do hardly any tricks at all. But it was really fun training them and they had lots of fun as well. It is a shame they only have such a short life.
Love the music. SouthEastern European?
Alvie looks like my pet rat except my rat doesn't have red eyes! My pet rats name is Gizmo!
there so cute!!! I'm thinking about getting two rats.
That is great. Don`t get them from a pet shop, have a look for rescue rats, there are always a lot who look for a good new home.
same and where can I find a rescue rat?
Cute chubby cinnamon rolls
sswwweeettt!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍🐀🐀🐀🐀
So cute!!! Yes the boys tend to get "fat" my females have not gotten fat. These are just adorable ratties....RATTIELUV
loved it can you make a video on how you teach them
I thought about doing it but never really had time and now they are too old.
+Nadine Mitschunas Not to hijacked this thread, but I do have tutorials for the majority of trick in this video on my channel. Anyway, it's always great to see young rats in action!
This is more cute and amazing than my girlfriend!!!! Nice job!!!
Thank you ;-)
I'm your girlfriend and I break up with you... v_v
Did you punch holes in the ping pong ball to make that one?
+Jessica Schnell Yes I did. You have to make sure there are no sharp edges. The rats needed to be able to grap the ball with their teeth, without holes the surface is too smooth for them.
awwwwwwv ratsss!!!!! :{
how did u train your rats well can't train my mice i have 1 mice
+Darkblaze Divine Mice like company too. Maybe you could get two more, your mouse will feel much happier! Have never trained mice but they can learn tricks as well if you have enough patience.
🐀🐁🐀🐁❤️❤️❤️
Not “15 incredible rat tricks” but it will suffice.
There are so many tricks that I could teach my Snoopy. Some of them he just won't do or doesn't like (like being rolled over) and I can't do some of the tricks on my couch setup. And I don't have all of the decorations that some of the fellow rat-trainers on CZcams have. But my Snoopy is doing over 20 tricks already and I am very happy about that and he enjoys doing them. I have to watch his weight though because he was getting too many rewards for his tricks every day during dinner. Keep up the good work!
Bart and Snoopy the Rat. Snoopy's channel: czcams.com/channels/y5XX-XWPkc3gcBuuXnmwdg.html
Had a look at you channel, great how many trick Snoopy can do already! Rats only do what they want to do, mine loved pulling strings but I never got them to fetch a ball or some other object for me from further away. You can only do the roll over trick with rats who completely trust you and are not dominant. It worked well with Bertie and Oskar but the rats I have at the moment would not do it.
Don`t force anything, just go with what Snoopy wants to do. The most important thing is that both of you have fun :-)
Have you tried clicker training? It works well with the more complicated tricks. What are you giving him as a reward? It looked quite large. Try something smaller such as rice krispies or cooked rice, my rats normally ate this on the spot and did not run away with it. It is also better for calories.
Why do you only let him on the sofa? You could train him to come when called, I do this with all my rats and I never have to search for them when they have free-range in the house.
Hi!
Yes, I tried clicker training and still regularly use the clicker to help me enforce more difficult or new tricks. For most tricks he doesn't need the clicker anymore and simply saying "Snoopy" or "come" is enough. Or visual signals. I can use tapping my finger on objects to have him go there or do certain movements. Tapping is used for positioning exercises and he understands my intentions very well (usually 😉). He knows that he has to come to wherever I tap.
Some of the foods he gets as rewards are pieces of pasta, corn kernels, peas, pieces of sweet potato, pieces of bread crouton. I already tried to give him smaller portions. And I have cut dairy (desserts, chocolate milk, cheese) from his diet. When he is full he might hoard his treats or take them to the big cage. I am watching his weight ☺. I spoil him too much because he is only a solo rat. I am aware of the fact that rats prefer/need ratty company but that is not possible at the moment. Also my country is too small to find rescue rats about his age. And yes, I feel guilty about it regularly. I am in regular contact with a rat behavioralist and together we came to the conclusion that keeping him solo after his last (16 months older) male cagemate died that this was the better solution.
I can't have 3 rats (though this cage could easily hold 8 males). Or I might get the same situation as you had with Oskar and then I would still have a solo rat and a solo pair that would also need separate playtime. Or maybe supervised playtime for all 3 but never unsupervised together in one cage. Snoopy already had to get stitches from a fight with the last rat, Pingu, and I don't want that to happen again with other rats.
In my current room it is not possible to have him roam free. I do use rain gutters though to connect his main cage to the couch (play cage) and my staircase platform and the gutter to the staircase platform is attached almost the entire day. He can go there whenever he wants to. Or come to me on the couch the entire evening/night when I am on the couch. Or go back to his big cage whenever he wants.
He does come to me often when called but he has a will of his own and sometimes just refuses to come. When I call him at the cage he usually pops out to see what I have for him. But even then he sometimes just stretches his body out of the Sputnik house and doesn't want to come out with his entire body or all 4 paws.
I simply have too many places behind furniture or in couches for him to hide in. And rats are hoarders. I can't have him drag everything to his cage. Also I had stepped on an older rat in the past once and that rat had a dislocated shoulder for months until she died. I don't want to ever go through that again. One moment of carelessness or inattention and you might step on or sit on a rat or crush a rat between a door, etc. And in the past I had rats that could climb 12 flights of stairs within seconds. And then I had to look for them on the attic. For instance between laundry, behind/inside the washing machine. And I have too many cables on the floor for rats to chew on.
If Snoopy liked to he would be allowed on the living room table.
I think that using the rain gutters is a good median to still have him roam free for a bit. And he has a cardboard castle with various boxes on the staircase platform that he can visit whenever he wants to.
When Snoopy dies (which I hope is not soon) I will have 2 rats again. And I will then train them as well.
I know what you mean with introductions, if they go wrong it can be very bad. I had to go to the vet with a rat for stitches after a failed introduction as well. Especially boys are difficult. I had best results with babies, but adult rats are very difficult.
My rats are allowed to free-range in our house when we are at home. So far they have not done any damage apart from some nibbled furniture (which is all my own furniture and I don`t mind). I have only boys now because the girls I had years ago did so much damage that I could not let them run free anymore. But my boys were always very good :-).
*reinforce.
Not enforce. I don't need to (en)force him to do anything
😊😊
LOL
Its a little fucked up that I got a add for rat traps when I turned this video on
Not nice!

how do you teach them!
With food as reward and clicker training (you use a specific noise to tell the rat that it has done something right, used in addition to food). If you are interested have a look in the following book:
The complete guide to rat training by Debbie Ducommun. It is a very useful book and explains how to train rats. I have learned a lot from it :-)
Mi creativo
My three boys beef, peep and fidget never listen to me when I have attempted to train them.
P.s I have tried a couple of times
It does not work with all rats and best to start them young. But rats are very food orientated so you might get them to do some easy tricks with a nice treat as a reward such as rice or corn flakes. Easy tricks are for example spin and standing on the hind legs. With both tricks you just have to hold the treat in front of them and either spin your hand so the rat has to follow or move it upwards. After a while you just have to make the hand movement for the rat to respond.
Nadine Mitschunas thank you
my rats a greddy pig , grabs food from me . so last nit I gave her an icecube and asked wat r u gonna do with that?
And what happened? Bet they ignored it. Mine also know if something is too hot for them, they would not touch it.
eh well actually , she tried to eat it . then realized she couldn't and got sorta frustrated with me and look at me pouting
Next you can teach them how to sew a dress like in Cinderella.
Great idea :-) Would save me a lot of money ;-)
Nadine Mitschunas How are they doing
The Rat Gang is not really alive anymore. Oskar, the last one, died in march this year. A shame rats don`t live very long, about 2 years on average, up to 3 years maximum.
1:37 Hang the witch
are male rats hard to train? i know they can be lazy sometimes haha
Ternyata tikus itu pintar ya
Der käfig ist zur klein
Warum sollte er zu klein sein? Der Kaefig ist ein Furet Tower und man kann bis zu max 7 Ratten darin halten.
Hello there, its Esther (Shadow the Rat).
I recently made a rat tricks website (rattrix.weebly.com/), and I was wondering if you'd be willing to let me link one of your rat trick videos to my own website?
It would go under a tab I'm making called "training other small animals", and I think it'd be a nice way to show people that small pets of any species (and gender) can be trained (I'd also be put your channel link under the video to give credit).
Thanks in advance, Esther.
Hi Esther This would be fine, please link the video to your website. It is always good to spread the word about rats, that they are great pets, intelligent and easy to train :-) Nadine
Thank you!
