On average they aren't smarter than a 5th Grader, but as rodents go they are pretty clever. They are very smart and clever rodents and can even learn there names.

Well their rodents and they can't name them selves or other people ( duh). I'm in the 5th grade and rats and mice have a history to be know smarter and more know a human better than they know them selves . Rats and mice can easily trick a fully grown person. With the fact of their high speed of running they have lived through the Bubonic Plague. They have developed are smart sense and and navigate using smell. They might not know or care for names they can tell them selves from mice. Mice are smaller and dull faces. They are very small maybe about half of the size of a rat. Rats are unarguable smarter than us they have lived longer than humans they where here before us and scientists predict they will be here lot longer than we will be. So as I said rats and mice are smart.
