TL;DR
Two groups of neonatal rats raised from birth without the opportunity to drink, and tested at different age levels, exhibited the same general characteristics of licking rate that adult rats do, suggesting that licking in the rat is organized on a genetic-maturational basis.

The rates at which white rats licked saline, sucrose, and saccharin solutions, respectively, were measured by cumulative recording of tongue contacts with the solution in question by averaging the rates of licking over a period of time.

Local licking rates of albino rats, when the rats were given tap water at the end of a short runway after 23 hours of water deprivation, appear to be constant, within practical limits.
