Pets & Animals > Rodents How to give your pet rat a bath: 3 of 8
In the wild, rats are used to being around water, and even enjoy swimming sometimes. Domesticated rats are hit or miss. Some love to scoot right into the tub and swim around in circles, and others will rip your arm to shreds climbing up to get away from water.
