Steps to Bathing your rat...
It's a good idea to wash your rat weekly, like you do with their cage, it can even be on the same day like I do! Remember to not wash the rats until they are at least a month. If they are too young they can be traumatized or you can hurt them. The best way to introduce your rat to bath time, is by making it fun and rewarding, place them in luke-warm water, and let them explore the sink, makesure you supervise them and the water temp at ALL TIMES! and offer them lots of praise and treats, the first few times you bathe them they may pee or poop (it is quite scary having a bath you know) but do not scorn them! they will stop when they realize bath time is just another routine! Remember to also dry them thouroughly so they don't catch a cold! Snuggle them after bath time, so they can get your body warmth and by then it will be their nap time

No soap, no water, no towels.... This is the ratty way to have a bath!

First all you need is to lick your paws, then you apply them to your face

You may need a freind to reach the hard spots
