I'm just curious to know. I've been contemplating on giving one one white rat a bathe, especially since his tail is brown (even though I clean the cage -_-) However, I've read many places online that say that you can't get the rats ears wet, but, I see your rats putting their heads under water...PLUS, their eyes are open? lol. So, you own them and they go into water, what's the actual truth on rats and water, and their ears?
i think that is very neat that you did that and had time to show others about it. I will try it one day when my rats get a little more comfterable with me. I just got them yesterday!! A dumbo rat and a norwegian rat!!!!
@pokelegofan Hamster's can't get wet, or else they'll get sick. And when rodents get sick... Well, theres no going back. But if you want to clean your hamster you can get chinchilla bath dust. I have a hamster and she loves to play in it too, especially if you get the little ceramic bath houses.
@RandomNumber56 I think that is just dwarf hamsters because they are small and maybe sensitive. My goldenhamster needed to be bathed because we took out his house to clean it and he slept in the corner of his cage where he urinated; resulting in him getting very full of stench.
hello everyone, i want a rat so bad but my mom thinks they are nasty and that they smell very bad, can somebody please help me to convince her ? xlove
@merelientje1 Hi there. You know, just a month ago my mother wouldn't let me have a rat. In fact, she thought the same things your mom is thinking. But now that I have two rats, I can fully say that they don't smell bad at all and they are very clean! They clean themselves all the time. It's probably one of the cleanest pet you can have, as well as they don't mess with their poop once they're done with their business.
@TheVivaciousNerd haha, i didnt know that rats are afraid of water. i try to put my rat into water and it was so afraid it jumped right out. then i made some research and i find this vid. i try as oPuPo recomend but after a year she still didn wont to swim nor she ever visited the pool i instaled for her. then i throw her favorite cooke in the water... and guess what... it jumped in water (instantly) and it swims and dives like a pro.. no fear and all this in yust few seconds.
clearly not animal abuse when it's their choice to go into that water. they're not being thrown, pushed or held in there. so how is it animal abuse? stupid idiots. the rats are enjoying it.
@oPuPo What should I do with rats that are already terrified of water? When I went away for a few days my sitter was watching them and she gave hem a traumatizing bath. now they hate water, what can I do about this?
@TheVivaciousNerd I don't think that it's important anyway. If the rat doesnt like it, then just don't force it to get to the water at all. It's not like dogs when you HAVE to bath them in the water. Or just put a bowl of water and see how he feels about it
How do you clean the rocks and shells? I've often thought it would be fun to let them play with shells from the beach but I don't want them to get sick.
I had 2 Rats, Holly and Lilly, they were amazing, and I had them for 3 years. Miss them so much. They loved the Water :). Your Rats are beautiful ^-^ !
You, are an inspiration. Rats are one of the best pets for adults, as well as kids. Please make many more vids like this :) Oh, did i say thank you? :)
Hello! I have one female rat named Star (rats backwards, teehee) and I tried using this technique, but she never goes near the water. I've even filled the bathtub with about a quarter inch of water with a stool in there for her to get out, and she won't even let a little toe touch the water. Peas and corn don't help either! What should I do? I really want her to like the water, as I live in Florida and it can get quite hot...
@morgannamae08 keep at it, im no rat expert but if she's hungry she'll be more into the idea of swimming to find food. withdraw her food for a day (rats a hardy, it won't harm them). I'm starting this method with my rats, its such good enrichment and exercise for them!
PLZ PLZ PLZ @oPuPo i need to know a few PERFECT treats for my rat(soon to be rat S :D i haven't got another yet but don't worry my rat luna has only been with me for 2 weeks)
Great video ! I don't know if I have enough patience to do this, but I appreciate such well-made and full of advices video :) Your rats are really cute ! It's very interesting to see them searching things underwater !
My rats introduced themselves to water when they got out of their cage ... they found the fish tank. They even made friends with the fish but it started tasting (not biting just investigating) their tails :p
@DeathMetal242 This video wasnt made so that you can teach your rats how to "drink" water. It's to teach them to be comfortable around large pools of water, and swim.
I really appreciate the fact that you adjust to your rats' needs, rather than expecting them to adjust to yours. It's refreshing to see someone who respects other species so much.
@ImZa1no You got to be COMPLETELY out of your mind. It clearly says ''always make it your rat's choice to go in''. They do it on their own! They know how to swim of nature too! THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT!
@ImZa1no And how do you know that DOGS don't like water too ? Is that animal abuse when they throw a stick in the water and the dog run for it ? Don't forget that HUMANS are animals too! in a way.. We enjoy going for a swim, JUST like the rats do.
@ImZa1no How is this animal abuse, retard? They have ladders to go in and out as they please, and you see them going in on their own free will. Or are you saying that the owner has mind-controlled them to force their legs to move towards the water?
A little thought before shouting "CRIMINAL" would go a long way...
My poor boys had to have a bath after getting into something sticky! Luckily they loved the water and I am hoping to teach them to swim. This video is very informative, thanks a bunch!
i'm sorry if im asking a question that might be asked already, but does the water need to be a little warm or as cold as the tap runs it? i know after a while the water might get room temperature anyways, but is it suggestable they get to deal with warmer water first?
I've not got a straight answer for you on this one. Whiskey liked his water cold, Womble preferred it with a little warmth to it. They lived with a compremise in the end. Try different temperatures and see what they respond best to, don't go too warm, but don't worry about it being cold :)
@oPuPo Hey um i just got my new rat today my last one Angus passed about a month ago he lived for 4 years. And my new rat Trey is a month old and my parents are divorced and i want to take him back and forth each week so he is not alone is that okay?
thats cool ok does that work even if the rats are already adults??? i got a rat that hates the water but the other loves it and the one that likes it dont like to be in the water alone he likes it when the other ones in there..if i so what you did in the video is there a chance he too will like the water?
i have 2,6 month old rats that HATE the water and i tried to use the method but they won't really get in, all they are interested is the treats lol, i've been doing if for like a month (only 1 inch water) and nothing has really changed? do you have any other tips?
someone help i have 2 females and no matter what toy i put with them (even on land) they refuse to play with it and scream when water even touches them as if it was acid and they look deppressed like they have nothing to do and they run around the entire house almost all day long
@colonelkillyou no i am serious, actually I am curious what kind of thing would happen if a male cat and a female rat have a baby together.... (like lion & tiger could have baby.)
omg they are exactly the same as mine! little unsure about how to introduce rasta to a new friend though. i'm not sure if he'll become territorial or not because i've had him on his own for about 4 months now. any tips on how to bring a new rat in without causing fights would be very helpfull :)
@dezgog If you have multiple rats, please always add a cat to live with them, and then I am sure rats won't fight with each other. That's my experience.
Yeah, definitely do this! My rat had to get a bath today because he's been pretty stinky and it wasn't going away. I'd never introduced him to water and he hated it! Poor baby! He didn't scratch or bite, he just keep looking at me, begging me to take him out. It broke my heart!
@imirocks1999 He freaked out a lot then scratched up my arms very badly trying to escape the horrors of aquatics...I think I'll try again, like this. He's very lazy (but I love him) and I think it would be good if I could get him to exercise in different ways (he never runs in his wheel, he just sleeps in it).
Also:Your rats are completely adorable. I wish mine would follow their example...:)
rats are nocturnal, so they are active at night, but they are usually still happy to get up and play a few times in the day if there tame enuff, one of mine always gets up when people go past the cage :)
My girls didn't like the tub much so I installed a little mini tub in their cage that can come out for easy cleaning and water replacing. A day later my 9 week old albino was fishing in the water for the pebbles. I posted a video response of her playing in the tub. :)
@ratman2372 I'm pretty sure it's common for some rats to dive to get things from the bottom of water, maybe you're just supposed to keep an eye on it?

@FallaciousDeception What happened to your rat?
imirocks1999 6 months ago
@imirocks1999 He freaked out a lot then scratched up my arms very badly trying to escape the horrors of aquatics...I think I'll try again, like this. He's very lazy (but I love him) and I think it would be good if I could get him to exercise in different ways (he never runs in his wheel, he just sleeps in it).
Also:Your rats are completely adorable. I wish mine would follow their example...:)

rats are nocturnal, so they are active at night, but they are usually still happy to get up and play a few times in the day if there tame enuff, one of mine always gets up when people go past the cage :)

What kind of treats do you use for your rats? My little girl is very fussy and ive tried alot of things but she just doesn't want it.

@lilbuddee
Mine are impossible to stop. What ever I'm eating, they demand.
Try cheerios, little bits of dried bread, really thin slices of pizza crust, sunflower seeds (very sparingly, as they have a lot of fat), fruit..
Getting her used to taking treats is important for when you need to give medication. A strong tasting treat will hide bad tasting antibiotics.
If she doesn't eat it at first, and she trusts you, try eating some yourself and let her smell your breath so she knows it's safe.

I have a feeling that one of my boys could really take to this... he always gets into my glass of water and tries to pull the ice cubes out!

What if they come out right as their paw gets wet? My rat Cammi runs back and wipes her paws on anything near as soon as her paw get wet.

My girls didn't like the tub much so I installed a little mini tub in their cage that can come out for easy cleaning and water replacing. A day later my 9 week old albino was fishing in the water for the pebbles. I posted a video response of her playing in the tub. :)

ratman2372 7 months ago
@ratman2372 I'm pretty sure it's common for some rats to dive to get things from the bottom of water, maybe you're just supposed to keep an eye on it?

Aw! Were they kissing at 02:17? Do the rats know not to {AHEM!} "GO" in the water? Or do you have to "clean up" after each playtime?
