Did you know that rats dream just like humans do?
They dream not only about whatās already happened but also what might happen in the future, these dreams are shaped by their individual goals and experiences rather than an instinctual baseline.
This has been tested by monitoring the neural pathways and brain activity of rats during treat rewarded maze attempts, using the data of this then comparing it to when the rats were asleep they found a similar amount of activity firing up in the hippocampus which, just like humans is used for spacial navigation and long term mapping.
They also tested whether rats would have negative dreams or nightmares, during this the amygdala fired up which is the centre for processing emotions and also the fight or flight response.
This was done by implanting wires/electrodes into the brain itself.
Did humans really need to subject them to this to understand they have a rich inner life, I highly doubt it but hopefully it helps people understand they feel emotions and have concerns and fears just like we do.
You can see how deep these animals can be and that they indeed have an array of emotions and complex thought patterns, perhaps not as complex as humans but if you can key in they subtly communicate in ways much louder than words at times.
It would only make sense that they can process and explore their outer and inner worlds whilst dreaming too, right?

š· HOME FOUND š·
š·9 month old boys looking for a new cushy home š·
Snowflake (Buff) & Greys (pronounced āgrazeā Mink) are seeking a new spoilt home due to no fault of their own, if the ideal home isnāt found theyāll come back to me.
From owner:
They both know their names and will generally come when called or when I make kiss sounds.
Greys is very confident and people focused.
Snowflake is more reserved but also very keen to get into things and be with people once Greys has investigated first.
They both enjoy water and love bathing in their parrot water bowl in their cage.
They also are very intelligent and figure out enrichment activities and toys/puzzles quite quickly.
They both love digging.
They are super friendly and just want to be friends with everyone so I feel like intros would be pretty smooth.
Greys enjoys giving manicures, Snowflake will grab your finger and hold on for dear life if thereās anything interesting on it to smell and will refuse to let go until heās satisfied thereās nothing else left to inhale.
They both love getting silly tickles and get the zoomies and come back for more.
They are used to a small amount of fresh veg each night around dinner time, with the occasional avocado piece or cooked rice/pasta.
So if they pine at the front of the cage with goo goo eyes they are expecting snacks š
They are the sweetest most handsome boys, with a sprinkling of cheekiness and silliness.
Both have had one or two minor RIs that have cleared up with doxy.

I was lucky to have Pippa come join us at the beginning of last year after her and her sister were rescued by the amazing Leanne from a neglectful living arrangement.
Her sister ended up being pregnant and young Pippa wasnāt settling so we decided weād give her a go here with my girls to help her confidence.
Iām so proud of Pippa, she is my last rescue and is now recovering after a lump removal.
Sheās my little sewer rat (in the best way possible) and has bought so much love and laughs to this house.
Just leaving this here
These babies are looking really nice, Gretaās two girls are extra plump and bigger than everyone else.
The Merle is obvious at this stage with all the darker flecks over the mink & dove coat. With them also being DWS their coats will darken and become steel grey like Gretaās.
Megacolon has been kept away for the last roughly 18months so if it occurs in these Iāll be reassessing again whether I continue with them, Iād like to pair girls back to adopted out uncles if possible so I will be reaching out to some of you over the next couple of months for planning š
Some cute cinnamon spots just like their papa Gideon coming through on Ashaās lot also, with the rest of the agouti darkening up of course too.
