Dry Skin

[angel_wings250]

Hello again,

I have question about dry skin. The one rat that I took in I noticed that he has really dry skin.
Can you bathe rats?
I have a special shampoo for my cat that I bought because he has dry skin as well, can I use it to bathe Chief too?
Do they like water?

The thing with rats, the more you bathe them the more they will produce sebum. One thing that many have found that works great is olive oil. Give your rats a bit of olive oil on a piece of toast and this should help.

Thank you,

I will try that for sure.
