School of rats is the first ever assembly ground for rats and their keepers in Malaysia. Rats are extremely intelligent creatures. There are even experiments that show how rats have the potential to be even more smarter than dogs. An experiment done by Anthony Dickinson, an experimental psychologist at the University of Cambridge, U.K. shows that rats have metacognition (the ability to think about their own thinking/ a higher level thinking ability). Unfortunately here in Malaysia, rats of all lineage be it pet rats, feeder rats, or wild feral rats cannot obtain the fair amount of respect and love due to the misunderstood reputation of wild feral rats. Hence, rats are often mistreated. And due to the lack of proper knowledge in keeping rats, it is common to see rats living unhealthily under the improper care of their keepers, breeders and sellers.
The School of Rats is formed to promote better lives for all rats. We aim to educate people about rats and how can they provide the best care to their pet rats.
