* Getting the Rat Ready!!!

- Begin by taking your cutting blade and make a vertical through the center the the rat's belly.


- The Rat used in this prank was stuffed with cotton, so all the cotton in the rat's body was removed. (except the cotton on its head and 3 legs)

- Make sure the rat's body doesn't look too flat.

* Making the Connections!!!

- before connecting any wires,  you will need to tape the ( 1 inch) piece of wire, just to cover one end.
- Take the motor and insert it in the straw, more tape will be needed to trap the motor inside.

-  One of the rats legs was just the perfect size to hide the straw containing the motor.

-  Also the battery holder fit perfectly inside the rat's belly, ( make sure the the wires stick out)

- Since the wires of the motor and battery holder were color coated,  making the connections was simple.

-  First Connect one set of wires and leave the other set unattached...

- so basically when your victims see the dead rat on the floor, they will instantly be freaked out...
If a rat doesn't scare you, the blood covering it will...

- Wait hold on, this rat is not dead yet,  that right! by connecting the two remaining wires, the motor inside will cause the rat's leg to vibrate at first and after a few seconds the leg will have a shaking movement, making it look like the rat is in agonizing pain...
