Teaching Vlad to "spin!"

The video is soundless, but I say "spin" as he turns around. It took him 5 minutes to learn. I gave him a sunflower seed when he turned to the left, then when he turned half way round, then 3/4 then fully around. We are now working towards spinning when I say the command and do a hand movement above his head.

Awesome, Mell! Is Lucian being trained, too?

Rats are so darn smart it makes me happy.

Lucian is an antisocial little thing. And he keeps mistaking my fingers for food and biting me! It bleeds too. I'm too scared to offer him sunflower rewards in case he takes my hand off! We'll get there though
