Bath time!

BATHING TIME!

         Okay, I have to admit, rats can SMELL. Nothing personal.
 What you need:
   
 *Big container OR big sink that doesn't have a hard-spraying faucet OR a tub.

*Towel

*A platform in the middle of the container, tub, etc.

*Treats (If it's their first time being in water)

*A person who is up for a rat clawing furiously on your arm trying to climb up and out.(Yes, I know that that sounds unusual,sometimes that happens,who would have thought?)


Fill whatever your bathing your rats (notice how I said ratS, always have a rat friend for your other unless your rat will try to great lengths to kick the other out, then you have a problem.) in with lukewarm water up to their belly. Put the platform in the middle in case they need a break, you don't need a drowning rat. Slowly lower your rats into the water. Some rats are natural water pups, some are rats who don't really have the intelligence to swim. (Like mine.) If they try to get out or it looks like they have asthma take them out. I'm kidding. Scrub them gently and don't get water in their eyes. When your done, carefully lift out your fuzzball and dry them off very well, until their completely dry. Now you have a clean rat!
