Your in a play!! thats great. I love plays. We once seen the play "the lion king" and had great seats. If you ever wanted to see a play, this would be it.
tricks: I taught them to jump up on me and climb up to my shoulder when I said "up"
A couple rats, I had these little balls (ping pong size) when I through it in their house, they would push it back out to me.
You know how rats will stand up on their back legs and sniff the air? Everytime they did this, I would yell ou"pretty girl" hoping that they would do that when I said it, Sometimes they do, but, they aren't to good at listening to that one. THey pretty well ignore me when I say that, like they're all confused.
I make them sit up for their food, saying "pretty girl"
I would lay down on my back, and put my legs up,Put them on my knees and tell them to jump.(on my chest) I had to give them a push, at first, but then they started todo it on their own. Or, I'd raise my feet up, so they had no choice.
Now, I'm trying to teach my 2 baby girls, to stay in a purse,(empty) while I walk around with them. they want to climb out, so I gently push them down and say no.. I'm hoping one day I will be able to walk down the street,with the rats in the purse, while they stay down there and peek out the top.
When I was sitting on the couch, I put a pillow on one end, and one on the other end. Then I would take them out and push on their behind and say "run,run,run," pushing them toward the other pillow, untill they started running back and forth on thier own. After awhile,I would ignore them and they came out and jumped on my back!!Like "come on, lets play!" so cute.
Casper is kind of old and tired for this stuff. and its best to get them when they are young.
