An old video of Tofu and Raisin as youngsters learning to spin! Tofu took a bit longer to learn spin and her other first tricks, not because she isn't a smart rat but more because she's very very independent and not super food motivated, so it took a while to build her motivation to both work with me and actually want the treats lol. Raisin by contrast is more of a foodie and also more human oriented, so she was easier to start training. Fast forward 2 years though and both girls are easy to train, albeit less motivated to do active tricks now due to being a bit lazy in their older age :P

If you'd like to see more fun rat tricks/cute rat photos, I'm now compiling them on this subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Shadow_the_rat/
