Do you think you could tell if your rat was in a prolonged state of stress? How would you know? It's a tough one in a species that has the ultimate "keep calm and carry on" superpower (even if they are like a raging storm on the inside).

Rats are so very good at hiding things.

Discover a world where you could predict a stress response in your rats - even before any telltale signs occurred. Where you could take action based on what you knew was about to happen. Watch to find out more.

Baby rats - what's not to love? Little dynamic balls of fluffy energy and impossibility. Their only jobs are to play, and grow, and become.

And then along comes NURTURE with the potential to add so much value - or take a wrecking ball to their foundations.

This video covers some of the many factors that influence development in the first few months of life - a little nature that we can't change - and a whole heap of Nurture which we can often influence.

Get tooled up to support your youngsters towards a more resilient future.

Isn't it so typical that no one wants a toy until someone else plays with it?! These five rat girls are no exception.

This is a story of the events that unfold after one little lady decides she'd like to chew the wooden egg that's been around for a few days but has not been given much attention...

Let's enter a world of possession, desire, dominance, and the magic of the priority individual.

Have you ever labelled your rat a drama queen? Are you convinced your rat is a ham actor? Are your group’s interactions an ever-developing soap opera, complete with tyrants, peace-makers, carers, and the lone rat who seems to be acting from a different script? Then you may have identified Functional Characters!
In this talk, Alison explains the concept of Functional Characters, where the concept originates, and why it’s so useful when observing our rats in a group setting:
What are functional characters?
How do functional characters fit with the idea of a top-down hierarchy, as we’ve been taught?
What are the various roles and who might play them?
What are the benefits to the group?
A brief introduction to a rich, fascinating topic, you are sure to come away with fresh insights into your rat’s behaviours and roles that could flip the script on how you see them as individuals within a group.

Squeak Squeak! No, your rats don’t need oiling, they need de-stressing! In this video, we observe two rats and their reactions to a human hand. Does it look like fun to you?!

Alison helps us sharpen our observation skills and reminds us to look at a situation from the rat’s perspective: how are these rats experiencing being 'chased'? The black rat? The white rat? Is there a way we could interact with the rats that the rats might enjoy more?

Observing and analysing rats in situations that are not our own, helps us hone our care skills for when we may be faced with similar situations with our rats. A terrific lesson in observation!

Are you the kind of person who enjoys finding out why? We all know that rats have individual characters, but did you know that they have genetically driven temperamental traits that tend to remain stable throughout life.

In today's video, you'll find out what the traits are and how they can be modified by stress or anxiety during pregnancy, kittenhood and up to about six months old.

When you are facing change or planning some noisy alterations to the house - imagine being able to predict how each rat is likely to respond. The amount of stress they experience and the behaviour they offer are actually their temperamental traits in action.

Do you want to know more? Come over to YouTube for the first concept video of the Nature or Nurture @ Ratwise event. https://youtu.be/asxSSDNl-XA
There's also a free PDF to accompany this video. Download it from the files area at the Nature or Nurture @ Ratwise Facebook Group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/341695669001204/
