老鼠覓食時，極度地有耐心。一開始牠們只會先淺嚐一點點，等看看這樣食物是否會讓牠們身體不適，除非真的沒問題，牠們才會把剩下的部分給吃完。這叫做「延遲式學習」，這也就是為什麼老鼠向來很難被毒死的原因。
【心得】我可以接受的鼠類只有"滑鼠"。

今天的主題讓我想到料理鼠王…

Today is my birthday:P

Any victims of rat infestations out here today?
Hopefully not! But I sometimes do receive dead rats (as gifts?) from neighbor's cat 囧

牠們一開始只會先嘗一小部分，等等看食物是否會讓牠們生病，如果沒事，牠們才會吃完剩下的食物。這叫做延遲學習，這也是為什麼老鼠臭名昭彰地難以中毒的原因。
