How-To Bathe Your Rat (2 Rats, 1 wSkin Problems)
Today, I did a round of rat baths. After my pet rats have experienced getting a bath for the first time, they usually begin to enjoy it because it’s essentially a back massage. And they’re always rewarded in the end, either with a rare treat or getting to free roam the entire rat room and not just the playpen. So once they learn that nothing negative is going to happen after their first bath, they are usually pretty chill about it every time afterwards.
When giving your pet rat a bath for the first time, please be patient and calm. I believe that animals can sense our emotions and if you’re feeling frustrated, your pet rat will feel nervous.
I always wear long sleeves and fabric gloves when bathing my rats to help keep me from getting marked up by their nails. They don’t scratch like cats but still, it’s uncomfortable.
It’s normal for your pet rat to squirm and wiggle during their first bath. They will quiver with insecurity because they don’t know what is going on at first. This is expected. Just stay relaxed and just carefully reposition however necessary to give them their bath.
It is NOT normal for a pet rat to bite. If you’re a breeder and your pet rat bites during their bath, please document this in your rat files for temperament concerns.
