Chase In this game you actually chase your rat by carefully crawling after them on your hands and knees! You never actually touch them, you are just basically following them around. Eventually the tables will turn though, and they will stop running and want to chase you back! So just back away from them, and crawl in the opposite direction. When they stop following you, start chasing them again! It's real fun, but you need a large area to do it in. Some rats might not understand what you are doing at first, but once they get the idea, they will love it. It is a natural game rats play with each other all the time. Be careful though. When you move along, keep it at a shuffle with your legs to the floor. If you lift your legs up, your rats will run underneath them, and you may accidentally squish them then.
