      you underestimate the intelligence of animals in general, and that... is the hubris of man.
      yes, they want treats, but every animal will go about things differently. that is to say, one mouse might be thoroughly rocks-for-brains and not understand what you want, get huffy and sulk in a corner. another mouse might be effectively a genius and do everything you're wanting specifically for the reward but also your praise... whereas another mouse may have already proven they can do what you want them to, but they just don't feel like it.
      and yet still, some may fail again and again at doing what you want and never get the treat. it's not that they're stupid, but rather that they've misunderstood the goal. they, like the dumb mouse, get huffy and sulk in the corner.
      that is character and self-esteem.
      every animal has a different personality.
      every animal has a different level of intelligence.
      i've had dogs that are about as smart as a metric ton of broccoli... and i've had dogs as sharp as a knife, smarter than some folks i know.
      appreciate that we aren't all that different from animals, and that we aren't any better.
      that might make you question the meaning of our existence... or it might not. but regardless, there's a facet to life that you're clearly missing.
      this may seem like a lot to read into from nine words, but it's plain as day. you don't believe animals can possess personality or intelligence... that it's just performance = treat.
      i'd argue that the pattern-recognition and reward-seeking behaviours on display are a massive mark towards intelligence, and the differences between individuals are just as large a mark towards personality and character.
      all that to say... readjust the lens you view creatures and critters through. you'll find that very little makes humans different from animals. because we are animals.

      They do have strong characters, I can vouch for that, they are tiny but with big characters, industrious, intelligent & feisty. I've never had mice before, now I've been gifted 2, 1 male 1 female, I'm amazed how curious & intelligent they are with their own individual characters. The female is like Minny mouse, really house-proud & loves reinventing & rebuilding/ remodeling her cage all the time, the male instead is like Mighty mouse at the mini mouse gym, continually on the treadmill / hamster wheel doing laps when he's not climbing upside down in his cage doing pull-ups showing off his mini mouse abs .. 🐁💪

    If anyone is keeping a small animal/bird in a cage or similar confined environment, please remember that you are entirely responsible for the whole life/hopes/welfare of that little one. Most of these kinds of animals are very conscious and aware of their predicament, but also they have loyalty and gratitude for being fed/loved. Please show your little friend caring attention, & be sure to let him/her/them out regularly, to see the sky and nature too. On their behalf, a very sincere "PLEASE!" :)

    Hi! There is no limit except their short livespan. The reason why you see different mice performing tricks is that I have more than 20 of them and want to give as many as possible the chance to learn, not just focus on one. But of course you can teach one mouse as many tricks as you want. And it totally depends on the trick and on the mouse how long it takes - from a few minutes to a few weeks.

    Hi! The clicker training method is the same for all species, so if you can train your dog, I'm sure you can train your rats, too. You'll be surprised how quickly they learn!

    This is a very good example of conditioning in psychology; The mouse completes a certain task to receive a reward. If the process is repeated enough times, then the mouse can complete tasks without a reward at the end.

    I understand how they get rewarded each time they did a certain task, but how do they know what they have to do the first time around?

    • @ScarFace9797
      @ScarFace9797 10 лет назад +3

      Not entirely sure but with psychology experiments usually, they are kept in a confined space until eventually they do the expected task and then are rewarded. For example a pigeon kept in a cage does not leave until it figures out the touching the lever opens the door to the food.

      They are taught how to do it and are rewarded from progress.

    • @mardalfossen
      @mardalfossen 8 лет назад +2

      As long as you treat them with respect, I wouldn't say you're a terrible person for feeding your snakes. Is live better for snakes than frozen? If so, you should continue. If not, I personally wouldn't.

    • @sourisblanche753

      Live is not necessary. It's illegal in my country.

    • @davidkerridge3889
      @davidkerridge3889 8 лет назад +5

      mardalfossen they dont have to have live. Some refuse frozen thawed so we have little choice.
      In the UK it is illegal to feed live mice if it is videoed or practiced for entertainment, or, if the mouse is left in when the snake is not hungry causing unnecessary distress to the animal. (animal welfare act) Like i said though we try not too but 3 of my snakes will never eat frozen so i have no choice with it. Its nice to have someone understand for a change!! I have had a few people report me in the past for it when they found out, hence i found out the above info from the police. But still feel bad about it! haha they do have a great habitril set up though and we do get them out and play with them so they have a good life.

    • @sourisblanche753
      @sourisblanche753 8 лет назад +3

      I talked to a rescue helper and she said they never feed live (and this is with wild snakes). They just encourage them if they refuse and it always works. People think up every possible excuse to live feed. How can live feeding ever not cause distress? Killing is a violent act and mice are sentient beings. Why would anyone keep snakes if they didn't like the feeding method? Bit like the drug dealer saying they hate it that people die of the drugs they push!

    • @davidkerridge3889
      @davidkerridge3889 8 лет назад +2

      drug dealers don't like that people die of their drugs, if for nothing else, they loose custom and the drug becomes harder to push.
      the idea that we look forward every excuse to feed live isn't a fair statement. I admit when I first got a snake I tried it to see what it was like! call me evil or what you like but it is human nature....it was horrible and it really was a last resort. however, I have now found canny ways to frozen thaw and like I said this video was the turning point for me. we have to be careful however not to austomorphasise please excuse spelling) which is portraying human emotion into animals. although they are sentient beings they don't quite think like we do, though it is easy to see a similar thought process, but the triggers are not like ours.
      all in all I can tell you first hand as someone who breeds his own mice to feed snakes, that I found it easier to feed live to the snakes than having to gas them myself, I could turn an eye to the responsibility and the guilt... however gas is far better try just go to sleep like an anaesthetic and that's it, if fed immediately after death snakes go wild for them so I haven't needed live for a bit! even hatchlings do well with this!

    As a kid we had mice, hamsters and even rats as pets, we never once thought "Ew a pest." Unless it was a wild one that got in LOL. Seeing these mice learn such intelligent tricks should make people realize that all animals are capable of anything when a human takes the time, love, care and patience. Awesome job!
