  1. *pushes bar, looks for pellet. Pushes bar, looks for pellet* Just kidding. 🙂

  2. As I remember, if you really want the squirrels to press the bar hard, you start with regular rewards for a brief training period, then go to irregular rewards. After a while, even if you quit rewarding entirely, they will continue to hit that bar for quite a while. The keyword was extinction, I think. Regular reward schedules lead to rapid extinction, irregular to slow extinction. Ties right into gambling and other addictions, incidentally.
