if you gave the rat an insultingly small pellet after giving them regular sized pellets would they even bother to eat the small pellet?

My rats will act like they're starving and when I open the cage to give them food pellets they'll just stare at them like "oh nvm we thought you had more yogurt treats, no thanks".

There's a whole lot of behavioral science to this, but you're definitely on to something. There are lots of experiments on what it takes to make a rat regard you with disgust as say "I pushed the lever for fucking this?"

There was an art installation thing where you could earn minimum wage by turning a crank continuously that would drop a penny every 5 seconds ish of being consistently turned

Animals absolutely have a sense of fairness and equity. They also have a wtf WTF is this shit response. Fine I'll take it, but I know you're holding out.
