Shadow The Rat - Rattrixs

Shadow The Rat - Rattrixs The new official Shadow the Rat page - my prior page called "Shadow the Rat" was hacked, so I am starting over with this page.

I upload rat tricks daily, and have tutorials on my youtube channel (called Shadow the Rat)!

I wanted to see if Cracker would be willing to fetch me multiple items in a row - she was, but she was very confused at me suddenly going from asking for 1 item to 5 lol. To be fair I made it harder by asking her to fetch a brand new item (the "carrots") - these are made of a rough sisal so most of my rats aren't huge fans of carrying them, so Cracker was a pretty good sport about it!

Popcorn (siamese) and Toast (dwarf variegated) practicing their vs basketball! Or well they were practicing it when Jellybean (black dwarf) suddenly came over and tried to butt in lol. Popcorn and Toast kept their cool though and did a great job avoiding the Jellybean distraction, and Jellybean got her turn at basketball later on with her standard buddy Cracker!

An older unposted clip of Cracker learning ratty flyball! All my rats who know fetch love ratty flyball, I think the combination of hopping (one of most rats favorite things to do lol) and fetch (something rats tend to enjoy quite a bit once they get it down) just makes it extra fun for them. Great job Cracker!

An older agility course I worked with Crumb that I never got around to posting - at the time she was still pretty new to agility and would sometimes get distracted mid-course lol, but she's now much more focused and her ability to complete agility courses quickly and accurately now is incredible!

Toast practicing her fetch while also working on her accuracy by also having to target the tape roll on her return - Toast can be a bit single-minded when playing fetch so this exercise helps teach her to incorporate other tricks while still performing the initial trick of fetch. Great job Toast!

Crumb practicing her walk on a rolling barrel trick - I want her to learn to mount it consistently independently without the tissue box or luring, since that makes it easier to incorporate it with other tricks. And she's definitely getting better at it, and will be ready for agility + walk on a barrel courses soon!

Raisin and Cinnamon practicing their spins! Or well, I was trying to get a clip of Raisin spinning in her current molt and Cinnamon wanted in lol. Or so I thought, as it turns out she really just wanted to use the barrel as a launchpad to escape the playpen - Cinnamon is definitely one of my most mischievous girls so I always have to watch closely to make sure she's not getting into trouble!

Toast and Crumb working on a super simple trick, that being to go to a certain place (in this case inside the mini camper)! I love this trick since its so versatile and can be turned into so many fun trick combos, plus its a great way to teach your rats to go to a certain location on cue. Next I plan to teach them to open and close the door for an extra fun trick combo!

My sweet dwarf girl Jellybean is learning to combine scent work with basketball! We need to practice basketball a bit more since Jellybean's aim is a bit off (partially due to her being so short compared to the hoop lol, but with practice she's pretty accurate!), but overall she did quite well!

An older video of Donut that I never got around to posting - here I was trying to see how far Donut could walk on a barrel, and she nearly made about 5 feet of it! I'm thinking about trying this with my younger rats, since they really enjoy barrel walking as well - anyways Donut did a great job as always!
