Can you train rats to bring stuff to you on command?

As question says :)Can you train rats to bring stuff to you on command?
yes you can, as long as you have patience and its small enough for them to carry without it being to small for them to choke on/swallow.

Yes, I was just reading about similar things in my psychology class...Basically it said that whenever your rat does something you want it to do, give her a treat- but these things will come gradually. Like when she just touches the ball give her a treat, then when she rolls it, give her a treat, and she will start learning that when she does this, she will get rewarded for it- You could read more about B.F Skinner, it might help=]
One of my rats does yes, all you have to do is keep reinforcing and rewarding, dont change what you want them to do, at first even changing the item they are fetching will confuse them. Once they get the hang of it you can build upon it.
I cannot myself, but yes, it's been done.
It has been done, but not all rats are smart enough, and they must be trained patiently and consistently with food rewards. As mentioned before, rats are used this way in the army. Some carry electrical wiring through tubes and things. You can buy a rat training book to learn more.
Yes you can
do u think rats are as intelligent as dogs ? people find them intelligent, but i never heard of them being trained to do things for humans.
Rats can be trained, but it requires patience.


Females are easily trained, males require a little more patience.

You definitely can. My babies bring me papers and things all the time, but I can't get them to do so on command, yet. ;)
YES!Tempt them to do stuff with treats and give it to them after. Keep doing this and they will soon learn to do stuff to get treats.
What? Like your slippers?

I can.
