Ezemu:
These rats are also becoming useful in some areas for detecting land mines, as their acute sense of smell is very effective in detecting explosives, and they are light enough to not detonate any of the mines.[2][3] The rats are being trained by APOPO, a nonprofit social venture based in Tanzania.

The procedure for training rats to detect land mines was conceived of and developed by Bart Weetjens from Belgium. Training starts at four weeks of age when the rats are handled to accustom them to humans and exposed to a variety of sights and sounds. They learn to associate a clicker with a food reward of banana or banana-peanut paste. They are then trained to indicate a hole with TNT in it by nosing it for five seconds. Then they learn to find the correct hole in a line of holes. Finally, the rat is trained to wear a harness and practises outdoors on a lead, finding inactivated mines under soil. At the end of their training, they are tested: they must find all the mines in an area of 400 square metres that has been seeded with inactivated mines. It is a blind test: their handlers do not know where the mines are. If they succeed, they are certified as bomb-sniffing rats.[4]

APOPO is also training the rats to detect tuberculosis by sniffing sputum samples; the rats can test many more samples than a scientist using more traditional methods—hundreds in a day vs. 30 to 40.[5] Land mine and tuberculosis sniffing rats are called HeroRATs.


At least, its useful for some noble cause...

But keeping them?
If one is the room, I'll sneeze so hard, its a sure banker that:

1.There's one within my range of perception and;

2.The lot of you around me gets to bathe early.

Yes u saw a cute pouched rat
Pouched rats are rarely tamed as pet
Rather as bush meat for most people

A giant pouched rat was also implicated as a carrier in a small outbreak of monkeypox in the USA.

From Wikipedia.

Just feel you should have a vet look at it though.

Seeing a Vet frequently is a must. I don't think the guy looks like somebody who is not aware of that.

The world is full of VERY funny people.

Why in Gods name will I want to keep a Rat as a pet.

Are you Nigerian?

Please tell me No so I can understand because white man can fit to do MUMU things.

But if you are Nigerian and you have a RAT as A PET den something in your head is faulty.

Watch out for neighbors with such mindset as the previous poster prior to your reply. One day they will roast your rat and eat it.Try to insure it against primitive Nigerians.

Although this rat looks cute. In fact rats are actually cute, but I hate them with passion. If you see the number of holes they created in my wall at home, you will feel like killing all of them. They are nothing short of being pests....

Not to mention the one that bit my toe while I was asleep or the one that are my bag because I hid noodles inside, or the one that usually remove waste from the bin and take them to different part of the house. The worse is when they start running around in the night when you are asleep and you begin to pray that they don't jump on you.

The worse is when they start playing football in the ceiling. You will think that a pride of lion is on the roof.

You are lucky it is just one. I hope she doesn't get a partner or I hope you are not looking for one for her.
