How to shoulder train a rat?
I want to teach one of my rats how to stay and sit on my shoulder so I can walk around the house with him.
How's the best way to do this?
He's young so will it take longer or shorted to teach him?
Also, I'm still having trouble teaching them their names.
My oldest - almost 2 months - has kinda learnt his name but not really.. i've tried most things, any other options?
Things You’ll Need:
Clicker
Treats
Step 1:
Buy a clicker. You can find these at the pet store, or you can use the lid from a Snapple bottle. Clicker training is the easiest, but you can do it without a clicker.
Step 2:
Have your rat's favorite treats handy for some positive reinforcement.
Step 3:
Place your rat on one of your shoulders. If you're right-handed, you may want to put your rat on your left shoulder so your pet is easier to grab in case it starts to move.
Step 4:
Leave the rat on your shoulder. If it stays, click the clicker and give your pet a treat. If the rat tries to get down, say "no" and put it back on your shoulder.
Step 5:
Try walking with your rat on your shoulder if your pet has done well staying in one place. Have someone walk behind you the first couple of times you do this in case your rat tries to jump down.
Step 6:
Build the time your rat spends on your shoulder. Remove the rat yourself. Don't let your pet get down from your shoulder on its own, or it will think it can climb down whenever it wants.
Step 7:
Practice this a couple of times with your rat and it will soon be shoulder trained.
He should learn pretty fast. Rats are very smart. My rats all knew their names and came when called. People were amazed!
