Of all of the rodents, rats and mice are by far the most intelligent. The easiest way to put it is that they are natural learners that can be trained to perform tasks and therefore understand concepts that they wouldn’t have before. Much like dogs, they are good at figuring things put, partially due to their astounding memory.

They are also highly social animals that form close attachments to one another, as well as to humans who own them as pets. If rats become separated from the human that they have bonded with, there is a possibility that the rat could wither away and even die in some cases.
