Actually, what they tell them is to punch the SECOND hole. That’s what accounts for all the Buchanan votes.

Won’t be long as those degus will be building degus communities, with degus condos, degus high-rises, degus theme parks and degus universities.

That’s pretty neat. The video of the degu using the rake is worth the trip to the ny times science section online. maybe someone has put it on youtube if you really dont wanna go to the slimes site.

This is first time rodents have been trained to wield toolsNo way! This photographic evidence of a rat wielding a gavel predates the Degus rake experiment...

Yes, I hear that there were a few pioneer deguses who escaped the lab after successfully learning the trick. They are said to be politically active even in the lab.:-)

Take heart my FRiend... they use tools to work and feed themselves, and they have “bubbly” (i.e. cheerful) personalities. So they’re probably conservatives!

I’ve never been able to get my kids to pick up a rake, maybe I could get a team of these rodents into my back yard.
I wonder if ferrets could be trained to rake the leaves?
