A while ago I sent a post about how to bath my rats. For a while I've been looking around for products to wash them with.

This is one I found, but I wanted to see if it was alright to use:

Johnson's Baby Bath Soap Free.

Is this okay to use? I thought since it was soap free it might be okay.

It seems alright.

Just curious - why do you want to bathe your rats?

Should be fine. I actually need to find some stuff for Lily, as she reaks at the moment.

My dominant male once peed on the non - dominant male and since then I knew I'd have to wash it off!

i think that's what i use

Rats pee on each other all the time I'd have to wash my rats every day.

Peeing on each other is part of normal rat social behavior XD

I agree with Night, you'd be bathing your rats constantly if you bathed them every time one peed on another.

The non - dominant males coat is yellow from the pee, and I thought i better clean it off sooner or later ..

 

[Night]

Are you sure it's from the pee? Sounds more like buck grease to me.

I never really thought about that Night. I'll take another look at it and check. Either way, don't I still have to wash it off him?

Rats have naturally occurring oils on their skin like all animals, it's just that male rats have more than normal a lot of times, especially if they're intact. It's just the way they are - they don't need to be bathed. Rats are fastidious groomers

Every once in awhile I use the pet wipes. They still go crazy cleaning themselves afterwards, but I mostly use them on my PEW when she looks like shes wearing most of her food, instead of have eating it.
