UPDATE:FOR UPDATED RAT VIDEOS, PLEASE VISIT MY RAT CHANNEL http://www.youtube.com/user/TheRatWhisperer1 **** Here is how I bathe my pet rats. I use John…
Hmpf, pet rats should not be bathed unless vet orders you to (and he should
have a very good reason too). they can clean themselves very well – by
using shampoo, you delete their natural scent and then they have even
greater need to get “dirty” (in human sense) again! If your rats smell
badly to you, wash their hammock and clean up more often and give less
proteins in the diet (they cause the greasy skin in males). But bathing on
a regular basis… Really not. Unnatural, unhealthy, stressful.
It’s ok to Martin Reyna not like rats, not everyone likes them. But one
things is: he coming to a video on how to bathe a rat, where the owner is a
rat lover, who made a video to rat lovers to watch and saying he hates
these animals and his snake loves to eat them. That’s just being an idiot.
aww! looks just like my Noodle boy!!! He HATES bathes, but I call him Mr.
BUCK-Grease when he needs one! My poor rat peanut needs bathes constantly
b/c he has leg degeneration where his back legs do not work… 🙁 nEwayz,
Very cute rat!!!
its funny how squirrels carry more diseases then rats and people still
prefer them over rats. I bet if rats had the fluffy tail and squirrels had
the pink tail people would think the opposite.
Your rat is so cute! Reminds me of my ferrets when I bathe them haha. Where
did you find a Siamese (I think the color is called?) rat? I have never
seen any but the hooded black and whites at all the basic stores like petco
and petsmart, did you get it from a special place or breeder?
You make this look SO easy, yet when we try to bathe our rat, he almost
claws the arms off you!!! He’s normally extremely friendly-probably one of
the friendliest, most trusting rats around, but he HATES being bathed. I
wouldn’t put him through the trauma of bathing, but he’s old now (in his
third year) & no longer uses his litter tray, and I don’t think he can hold
it anymore when he needs to pee or poo 🙁 So he REALLY needs to be washed,
otherwise he stinks.
For any one having trouble bathing rats because of the fear of the water,
try pea fishing. Get a shallow dish, fill it with frozen peas and then
introduce your rats to it. They like peas so they’ll eventually try getting
them out and get used to the water in the process… its actually a really
stimulating activity for them as well.
You shouldn’t force the rat into the water and most important: DON’T USE
SHAMPOO!! Its kills the natural smell of the rat and it irritates the whole
group if they smell chemical…

One of my rats used to like bath time… The other one SCREAMED whenever
she touched the water so I stopped bathing her.

There is no need to bathe rats 🙁
Unless they can’t clean themselves because of injuries.
They’re not dogs, but lick themselves like cats.
