Can You Bathe Rats With Dawn?

When you are bathing your rat, you will need two pans or a small bucket of lukewarm water. One pan should be filled with about two inches of water, and the other should be empty. The rat should be held very gently in your hands. Try not to hold it too tightly or you might end up injuring yourself! The goal is to gently place your rat in the pan. Be sure to wet the fur, but not the face!

First, gather your supplies. You will need water that is warm, so make sure it is not too hot. Once the water is warm enough, fill the sink or plastic pan with the water. Pour the soap in the water, and then gently lower your rat in. Make sure not to get water in the eyes or head, and then pat the rat dry with a soft towel.

Next, apply the dry cleaning mousse to your hands. Use your fingers to massage the gel into the skin. It should be able to penetrate the dermis. It’s important not to massage the dry cleaning mousse on the genitals or head. Then, remove the mousse using a clean cloth. Baby wipes can be used to clean the tail and legs. However, you should avoid using them on the rat’s genitals.

If you choose to use a pet shampoo, it’s best to buy one that is made for use with pets. Make sure to choose a mild, non-toxic shampoo. You can buy waterless shampoo at most pet stores.
