If you are going to continue with this swimming exercise just make sure the water is warm & that you have a warm blanket to dry the rat off with after swimming (pop a towel in the dryer to warm it up). Hairless rats have to work real hard at keeping their body temperature correct. If you chill them placing them in water that is too cold or allow them to air dry after a dip you could cause your rat to become rather sick.

Wait what does the poll have to do with the question? I'm confused. And it's a tough poll to answer because most of us have many rats. Also...a red rat?

 

[RambunctiousRatzSFL]

I ignored the poll because it made no sense to me. Like you said, many of us have more than one rat & since I currently have 37 I have a few colors not even mentioned above.

Better at swimming, or like swimming? Let the rat explore water of their own accord.

both of my rats are multi-coloured, my rats are scared of water so i cant let them swim

My rats love to swim, and I am assuming it is because I never force them to swim. They have a swimming pool in their cage that I clean daily.

pooky is an exelent swimmer. she paddles like a dog. i forgot to add pink for naked rats. What i mean by red is burnt orange. i was curious what color rats people have. winkie will actually hop not swim.
