Yes, rats are VERY intelligent but that doesn't mean that in the wild u can find a nice tame rat that knows your are friendly. Don't do that, u will lose a finger. Instead get one at a pet store or from a breeder.

Most of the time, a mouse's intelligence can be observed by teaching the mouse tricks. Mice do learn tricks....and the best one to identify the mouse's intelligence with would be to teach it to stay in your pocket. You simply place the mouse gently in your jacket or pants pocket, and say "stay" or "Pocket." Once the mouse seems to understand you want it to stay, you can put it on your leg or arm and say the command you have chosen, and it will go into your pocket. It is a very simple trick, and the shorter it takes the mouse to learn this trick, the more intelligent it appears to be.

Mice are just as smart as people. They know how to enter a household without being seen. Also, they are very elusive and stealthy. They know the right time to run. Some mice have even gained enough knowledge to know the shape of a trap thus escaping the deathly clutch. Mice also have the ability to communicate to each other which to them is essential for survival. Mice also know how to build homes within dirty rooms filled with clutter. Finding them within their tiny home is difficult.

Lastly, they have emotions like people. They can feel fear. Also, they can use their appearance to frighten people as well. Just remember, mice are just as scared of you as you are them.

All in all, mice are extremely smart. In my opinion they will keep gaining knowledge over time. Disposing of mice in the future will be a problem. People will have to find new ways of creating new traps to fool mice.

Yes, of coarse they do. They may not be the smartest creature in the world, but they certainly have brains.
