  • @redeyethor1 It rlly isn't that bad to drop them, it's better to drop the rat than to squeeze it b/c there ribs are fragile. They are very skilled at landing on their feet properly, like cats and maybe even better

  • Lol totally saw that turd he dropped. I would have shat too.

  • no wonder why they cut her off at the end

  • WHAT EXPERT VILLAGE WHAT???DUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHH

  • You don't need to bathe your rat. Rats are very self cleaning. Like cats. And baiting a rat with soap, takes away their scent. Alienating them within the colony. That's why Tar will sit there and groom his fur afterwards. He wants his scent back.

    "and then you'll just take him like so..."

    *drops rat*

    Lol gotta love Tar. He's a good sport.

  • expert village ughhh......

  • I had a pet rat who loved his baths, I held him near my sink (it was full of clean water) and he Jumped into it an swam around for a bit, he loved it (the water was warmish) he died about a year ago now, he was called freddie ;)

  • Use liquid baby wash for humans- it's mild and rinses cleanly without any stinging if there is an accident and the suds gets into her/his eyes. I don't care for your method either; he jumped when you poured that water/soap mixture on him. I bet it was too warm or too cold. He should enjoy his bath. Sheesh!
