ive heard that people use kitten shampoo when they give their rats a bath. one of my rats smells alot, and i want to give him a bath. does anyone know if pets at home sells kitten shampoo.Where can i buy kitten shampoo?
I don't think it's a good idea to use kitten shampoo on your rats.
Most rats clean their selves and using kitten shampoo could affect their skin as they could have a reaction to the product. or when they lick themselves they could take in the product and you could make them ill.
Go to your nearest pet shop they should have rats shampoo or if not then you can definitely get hold of some wipes to clean them with.Where can i buy kitten shampoo?
Don;t use kitten shampoo. If you go a pet shop, most good ones will have special shampoo for small animals I know mine does. Buy this, not kitten shampoo, as it is much safer for your rat or any other rodent. I use Johnsons small animal shampoo on my guinea pigs. It should be okay for your rat, it specifies on the back which animals it is suitable for.

You can also get top and tail wipes for small animals, which i also use on my piggies feet because they get muddy after being on the grass, and I've ruined so many clothes due to little muddy footprints. These should also be suitable for your rat.
Good luck with bathing your rat
yeah any mild childrens shampoo is fine just not too much ..boy rattys do smell more because of their scent glands..don't forget their tail too :D
RATS RULE
FACT:
Rats can have calpol for pain relief(IE for cage injuries)instead of going to the vets you can save money :D
The question is...Why on earth do you keep rats. ? as for shampoo, I have never heard of kitten shampoo. Have you tried any pet shops. ?
Pretty much any pet shop will sell 'small animal shampoo' it's suitable for rats, hamsters etc.
Ps. I love the 'they don't bite like hamsters' lol :)
DO NOT USE KITTEN SHAMPOO FOR YOUR RAT! i dont know who does but dont! its not safe to try. try using no tears baby shampoo if you have to give them a bath. no cat shampoo!
The pet shop!
pet stores should have them
