Captive born rats like to be petted a lot. They enjoy a daily walk, like dogs do. APOPO has several outside pens where the rats can play and get used to an outside environment. Other rats walk around freely in the kennel during clean up of their cages; they don’t attempt to escape, they just enjoy wandering around and exploring new environments.
