This is yet another way of training a rat to fetch. In order for this method to work, your rat must have an item they like to stash and carry around. My rats adore eCOTRITION Hamster, Gerbil, Rat & Mouse Cheese Chews, and love to run around with them and stash them (as do many other rats). Thus, if you don't know of any items that your rat likes to stash, these are worth a shot. Anyway, enjoy this video!

***Many Thanks to rat mom 27 (https://www.youtube.com/user/ratmommy27) for information about the cheese chews***
