I had a rat! We used some kind of pet shampoo for rodents and it worked very well! Just give him a little scrub with the rodent shampoo (I used a sponge) and he'll be as clean as a whistle!! Oh and if he poops in the sink (or wherever your washing him/her) thats fine too, its just scared. Mine always pooped in the sink, lolWhat house hold item would be the best to wash a small animal like a rat?
Hi,





I have had a lot of pets so speak from experience from what i have done in the past.


However i have never had a rat but have had other rodents...guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, etc.





I used to let mine have a swim in my bath, not making the water deep or too hot or cold and once they have had enough gentle exercise and are wet pick them up and shampoo them with Johnson's baby shampoo.





This is so mild it does a really good job.


Rinse...Dry and done!





Hope this helps. x:)
