Some scent work with miss Tofu! She was originally supposed to knock over the correct vial, but as you can see she put her own twist on the indication cue and it became a mix of sliding and fetching it to me :P . And on that note I'm excited to say that I've now officially made a mini rat scent work training kit! This kit can be found on my etsy, and includes 4 scent vials w/removable lids, a mini basil packet to scent one of your vials, and a detailed training packet on how to start training scent work with any rat: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1800078844/scent-work-training-kit-for-pet-rats

Raisin has graduated to full on fetching through the weaves! Before I had to place the ball at the weave entrance, but now I can throw it and Raisin will find the weave entrance herself! This was surprisingly hard for her, not because she had issues finding the weave entrance but because she values weaves so much over fetch lol.

.

So I would throw the ball, she would follow it to the weave entrance, then she would completely ignore the ball in favor of speed weaving back! It took a lot of working with just the first cone and ball to convince her to actually grab the ball first - but now that she is I'm happy to say she is doing so well that I think our next step will be to add fetch to a multiple obstacle course. Go Raisin! (Also yes, Tofu was being her shameless treat stealing self!)

it wasn't "some reason", it was 2D animators being unionized and 3D not being unionized. and the simple truth that capitalism kills art.

I remember when 2D faded out, the reason studios kept giving was "it's because 2D is a lot more expensive to produce". I was a child back then so I didn't think too much about it, assuming it was about the process itself, but as I grew up and learned more about art as an artist, and gained friends who were professional 3D artists themselves, I started to question it. Because 3D is very different from 2D, but it's definitely not easier or faster to make. Also, both European and Asian studios kept producing 2D animated movies

The answer was unions. The answer wasn't "this kind of art is cheaper because it's easier to make", it was "this kind of art is cheaper because these artists can't force us to pay them correctly"
