Food – a training basis
The decorative rat pays the closest attention, of course, to food. It that also should be used to teach an animal to the first simple teams. For a start it is necessary to take some delicacy (it can be a sunflower sunflower seed, a tiny piece of meat or boiled egg) in a hand and to stretch it to an animal. During it "gesture of kindness" it is necessary to say a nickname of the pet several times. Such "classes" need to be given periodically and after a while the decorative rat will begin to react to a sound of a human voice.

It is necessary to tell that having taught a decorative rat to this simple team, the owner to get rid of need to catch constantly on the apartment of the pet having a tail. The third team does not represent any complexity at all, however from outside following "focus" can look very effectively. The task is in teaching a decorative rat to become on back pads. To make it simply – it is necessary to take in a hand some "yum-yum" like the same sunflower sunflower seeds, to bring it to the favourite and to raise gradually up, tender tone repeating a nickname. The rat is capable to learn this trick for only two-three "occupations".
