Does anyone have any tips to bathing rats?! I pretty sure mine have been marking each oher (one of them smells like pee) they are still quite skiddish and I don’t want to traumatize them. I just got hem to start trusting me and coming to the front of the cage when I approach it. Any advice would be very helpful.
 
Maybe just wipe him off with a damp cloth or an unscented baby wipe.

Rats, like cats normally do a good job of grooming themselves so most people do not bath them …. unless they become ill or elderly and need help keeping themselves clean

good luck
 
Sometimes I put some fresh peas in a pan of water and let them “bob” to get them. It’s a fun game for them to play and it also kind of gives them a little bath. :)
Unscented baby wipes are also good.
