Everyone knows that rats are smart; but just
how smart are they? Here's an example of what a rat can do
when she puts her mind to it!

Figure 1
Siofra desperately wants to
eat the untouched seeds from the top of the seed treat.
Even when she stands on her little plastic house, she
can't quite reach.
Figure 2
Perhaps if I drag this dish
under the house I can add an extra inch of height...
Figure 3
Ok.. still not high enough. Perhaps
if the bowl wasn't lying flat under the mouse house...
Siofra noses her bowl into position
under Chateau Plastique
Figure 4
Success! A precariously placed
dish, wedged vertically between glass and plastic house,
props the house up at an angle and allows Siofra to nibble
at leisure.
I wouldn't believe it if I didn't have photos
to prove it!
