Hot Weather Calls for a Rat Bath!

Yesterday was a hot 36 degrees in Melbourne, and all my rats where flaked out, legs all hanging through the second level of their cage which is amusing as ever. Anyway I thought that they might like a cool bath, so I put an inch of water in the bath and added our 6
Rat Bathrats. Most of them freaked out with one especially trying to jump out, but she just keep sliding down the side each time she tried, I had to laugh a little because it was funny as hell. One of rats named Sandy just loved it, it really surprised me how each one reacted and just how much they poohed in the water.After they returned to their cage they groomed themselves for about 20 minutes, which was very cute.

I had to do this too
I had to do this same thing last summer. Our air conditioner was out for 3 days, and we're on the third floor. I think it got up to 90 degrees in here one day. Not fun for humans or their animals. At one point I resorted to putting my rats in the bathtub too, and they had pretty much the same reaction as yours. I would have jumped in there with them if not for all the pooping they were doing.
Rats are like Jello...there's always room for more!
