I finally had to give my 1yo dumbo rat a bath today. I think he's traumatized..lol. He won't let me near him now. He hated the water, and tried to hide in my shirt. Anyone have any tips for next time? I used kitten shampoo, diluted and towel dried him.

He's got this bad habit of peeing in his hammock and then sleeping in it, so this will have to be done on a regular basis. Any help is appreciated.
