Kendal Crawford and Shaun Stephens-Whale from British Columbia have turned the internet’s attention to their adorable pet rats, Kuzko and Kronk. Originally considering adopting a dog, the couple couldn’t resist the charm of these two curious rats at the shelter.
Once home, it became clear that Kuzko and Kronk were no ordinary pets. Inspired by a study on rats learning to drive to reduce stress, Kendal and Shaun embarked on an ambitious training journey. With the help of Kendal’s father, who provided tiny electric cars, the rats began their driving lessons. Astonishingly, it took just one day for the rats to grasp basic controls, and within a week, they were maneuvering with ease, even parking for treats.
Their Instagram, aptly named @emperorsofmischief, showcases these tiny racers navigating their mini vehicles with skill and precision, captivating followers with each post. Their story not only highlights the intelligence and adaptability of rats but also serves as a delightful reminder of the joy that pets, no matter their size, can bring into our lives.
Watch Kuzko and Kronk in action on their Instagram and get ready to be amazed by these small but mighty drivers.
