How does one rat mentor another?

You can teach a kid to change a tire without saying a word. It’s the same thing. Rats are very smart and very social. Rats that were good at teaching Rathood to their little ones had more that survived.

Put food in a maze and I’m sure rats would teach other rats how to get it. I expect this is similar.

		Our dog learned to find tennis balls by smell off a dog that was good at it. This was after me one walk with this dog. Every trip to the park got us a few. Then he ate one and have himself a bowel obstruction and me a great enthusiasm for pet insurance.

All deprecated pages with outdated info of course. But the comments have links to Slack threads about the incorrect info.

Rats are intelligent social mammals. They teach by actions. Imagine training a dog. You have two dogs, one trained and one not. You say "sit" and the trained dog sits and you give it a treat. The non-trained dog will quickly pick up on that.
