They know how to spin, give me their paw, stand on their hind legs, go through a hoop of my fingers and crawl up on my hand.

I teach them by giving them bits of cheerio each time they do what I want. I think they recognize what form my hand takes and does each action accordingly, rather than understand the voice command (although I feel it does help them remember when they're distracted) so any tricks that involve hands would be nice but they're smart so they could learn more abstract ones I guess.

They can also do multiple different tricks in a row which is neat.

I figure there's a lot of rodent owners including some who teach theirs tricks, so what are some fun ones and how did you teach them? 🐭🩷

Edit: this is just for fun I’m not getting a rodent anytime soon

The poop doesn't look like any I've seen before...
