What would be a good and safe way to bathe my rats? I only scrub them in warm water but I think I might need some kind of shampoo stuff because of my male rats. They sometimes smell really bad. What can I use?What is a good shampoo for rats or an alternative?
Dilute some Dawn dish washing detergent. Doesnt take much.
It will remove the oily substance that they have on thier fur. (which is normal for male rats)
Maybe a drop or two in a cup of water, just enough to work up a little lather. I wouldnt wash his head, you dont want to risk getting it in his eyes.
Make sure you rinse it all off well.What is a good shampoo for rats or an alternative?
You can use any cat shampoo or even baby or children's' shampoo, as long as it's a tear-less type formula. That's what I use, and it works great.
Per my vets suggestion, I use tear-free baby shampoo for my rats, and I wipe them with baby wipes between baths.
