There's been so much science around this often, unfortunately, that used rats.
Some of this science makes me a little bit sad when I think about half of the rats were kind of tortured by being denied anything to play with or having to be alone.
While in the other cages, rats had an enriched environment, which was things to play with.
They had each other.
They had friends.
They're fulfilled.
The rats that are alone and don't have toys
They love drugs.
They love drugs.
They're in trauma.
They probably need it.
They do.
They don't have a drive to survive.
They don't solve problems well.
Eventually, they stop caring.
They just don't eat.
They don't want to solve the puzzle in order to get the cracker because they don't care.
They have no drive to thrive.
There's a lot of rat studies around this, which makes sense.
