  • After many requests, here is how I teach my mice to play basketball.
    This trick is quite difficult, so you and your mice (rats/hamster/gerbils/...) should already have some experience in trick training.
    And remember that species-appropriate keeping is the basis for any trick training, only then they can develop the intelligence and creativity they need.

    Apparently mice find trick-solving very fulfilling. Not just the treat, but the rush of solving a puzzle and being praised and rewarded for it. They feel like they're a successful mouse being and they're happy to be pleasing you!

    I know it's part of the training but the beginning made me laugh. The mouse was like "okay I have the ball..." and you were like "eat food, more food, MORE FOOD! " It was just funny from my point of view.

    You can't totally fade them out, but later in training it's enough to give them only randomly.

    Bis das Apportieren sitzt kann es Wochen dauern, aber das eigentliche Basketball geht dann ganz schnell, oft binnen weniger Minuten, und manche können es dann sogar von ganz allein - sie verstehen den Zusammenhang zwischen Hand und Basketballkorb und "apportieren" ihn dann gleich da hinein.

    Thank you so very much for making this how-to video. It's very clear and easy to follow. How long would you concentrate on each step for? (For example, interacting with the ball. Once he/she has picked up the ball, do you finish training for the day? or keep doing it until they repeat the behaviour x amount of times? Then how long would you continue with that one step, let the mouse just focus on picking up the ball for a week, then move on? or carry on right to the next step once they've got the first one?

      i see alot of mice at pet stores and a friend who worked there at one point actually told me that the hamsters and mice there are mostly inbred.
      sadly because they are considered snake food i guess.
      dont get me wrong, i dont hate snakes but i couldnt take on responsibility of them because i love mice and other rodents.

    • @MouseAgility
      @MouseAgility  10 років тому +2

      She just understands what I want from her. Experienced mice usually don't need the help of the hand at all (and when the basket is very small, like in another of my videos, it wouldn't be possible anyway), it's enough to point a finger at it.
