Har dina råttor en egen bil? 😉

Ett litet pyssel för den händige. Risken är väl bara att det blir svårt att få tag i dem när de väl har lärt sig köra. 😁

Kuzko & Kronk on Instagram: "And now the debut of an exciting new talent Kuzko and Kronk have been working on behind the scenes…. 🏎️ That’s right: These two boys are going for their driver’s license! Has anyone here read about the study from the University of Richmond about how enriched environments affect stress responses? 🤔 In it, scientists taught rats to drive tiny cars, and found the experience of learning and acquiring mastery over a new skill decreased their stress hormones. 🧠☺️ Kuzko and Kronk are definitely happy, curious boys and lifelong learners… but we had no idea they’d get the same opportunity to challenge themselves until my mechanically-gifted dad surprised us with two little cars for them that he’d built himself!! 🤩 The controls are pretty straightforward: middle pedal goes forward, left pedal turns the car left, right pedal turns it right. 🚘 It really didn’t take Kuzko and Kronk long to experiment with their new hot rods. At first we rewarded them for any interaction with the buttons. 🙌 Then, as they began to make associations with what each button did, we slowly increased the threshold of accuracy required before they got their treat. Eventually, they came to understand their task was to manoeuvre the car so that the portholes in the windshield aligned with wherever we held a delicious rice puff. 🧭 After only a couple months of 5-10 minute lessons each day, we’ve been blown away by how skilled Kuzko and Kronk have become at accurately turning and accelerating their cars! True to the study, they do seem to enjoy their nightly practice. We removed the back doors a while ago to give them full autonomy, and now when the cars come out the rats are quick to jump in on their own and hit the gas! 🤠 There’s way more great footage of these two speedsters to come, so stay tuned for future reels showcasing the advancements Kuzko and Kronk are making in their driving prowess! 🤗 #rescuerats #adoptdontshop #ratrods #ratstagram #ratsofinstagram #rats"

Vilken kul grej! Ja, råttor är smarta som vi vet.

Igår gjorde jag ingenting och blev inte klar, så jag fortsätter idag!

#1: Ja, de är bland de mest intelligenta djuren näst efter människan. 😊
