Rats are fascinating animals, and their hygiene habits can sometimes be a challenge for their owners. Luckily, we have come up with a clever solution: pee stones! These handy stones are specifically designed to support the natural behavior of rats and other rodents. They give the animals a designated spot where they love to pee and can even help with potty training.

Did you know that rats have a remarkable trait that allows them to show empathy? Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have discovered that the brains of rats activate the same cells when they observe the pain of others, just as when they experience pain themselves. This phenomenon, referred to as "mirror neurons," is crucial for understanding empathy, not only in rats but also in humans.
Wist je dat ratten een opmerkelijke eigenschap hebben die hen in staat stelt om empathie te tonen? Onderzoekers van het Nederlands Instituut voor Neuroscience hebben ontdekt dat de hersenen van ratten dezelfde cellen activeren wanneer ze de pijn van anderen observeren, net zoals wanneer ze zelf pijn ervaren. Dit fenomeen, dat wordt aangeduid als 'spiegelneuronen', is cruciaal voor het begrijpen van empathie, niet alleen bij ratten, maar ook bij mensen.
