The pet rat recognizes its owner. Pet rats generally refer to hamsters. Although hamsters are small in size and not very intelligent, they are very sensitive to smells. The owner nurtures the hamster from an early age, and after the hamster is raised, the hamster will develop a sense of dependence on the owner and recognize the owner. Although the hamster's hearing and vision are poor, its sense of smell is very sensitive and it can remember its owner through smell.

How to teach a pet rat to recognize its owner:

1. Let the pet rat understand its own smell so as to identify itself as its owner. The sense of smell of pet rats is very sensitive, and the smell of pet rats will be different for each person. After getting along with pet rats for a long time, they will remember the smell of their owners.

2. You can give your pet rat a name. Especially when feeding a pet rat, you can call the pet rat to feed it to increase the pet rat's favor towards the owner. Whenever the owner calls this name, the pet rat can react, which means that the pet rat has begun to recognize the owner.

3. Interact more with pet rats to make them familiar with their owners. If a pet rat has an indifferent attitude towards it for a long time, the pet rat will easily forget its owner.
