Best Answer

Bathe the rat with shampoo with the active ingredient pyrethrins, at no higher than 0.15%--check with your vet as to an appropriate brand.

Also disinfect the cage and surrounding area with bleach at least once a week. In addition, use fresh bedding that you have previously frozen overnight.
