Things You'll Need
- Flea shampoo (puppy or kitten formula)
- Flea powder
Instructions
Gently bathe the rat in the sink using a flea shampoo formulated for puppies or kittens. Rinse the rat thoroughly and dry it with a towel.
Remove all bedding from the rat's cage and scrub it thoroughly in hot water. Add fresh bedding and return your rat to the cage.
Sprinkle flea powder on the carpet surrounding the cage. This will help to prevent re-infestation. Do not put flea powder inside the cage, as extended exposure can harm the rat.
Examine your rat daily for signs of re-infestation. At the first sign of fleas, bathe the rat again. Repeat until fleas no longer appear.
