A mischief of HeroRAT pups have begun their socialization training. #APOPO handlers gently carried them around, introducing them to sights, sounds, smells and humans! After 10 minutes they are ready for a nap! Here’s some HeroRAT pups to help get you through to the weekend. Future #HeroRATs...

At 4 weeks HeroRAT pups start to open their eyes and soon after begin their #socialization and #habituation.
We take them outside, like Chip and Dingo, meeting new people, sights, smells and sounds (while mama gets a well-earned break).

My ongoing quest for serotonin has led me to discover that I could sponsor a "herorat" - a rat specially trained to either detect TB, landmines, or illegally trafficked wildlife products in Tanzania, Angola, or Cambodia.
They're just little guys doing big things and I love them.
