Male rats will get "buck grease" and so will need to be bathed. Baby shampoo or kitten shampoo. Uuhh...just beware, expect plenty of claw marks, they hate water =D Even though rats will groom and clean themselves, it is ok to bath with an appoved rodent shampoo. no they dont they clean themselves just like cats do Pet rats from a store do not carry diseases. The above poster is correct in saying they groom themselves like a cat. I have only bathed my cat once when she fell into some oil. Thanks heavens she loves water! LOL
