Seeing how it is lake water, I would really worry, because there is so many nasty disgusting things in the water. I would take a small piece of cotton off of a cotton ball and lightly stick it in there and try and see if you can clean it out. At the pet store they sell ear cleaning solution for small animals, I would try some of that too.
Luckily, I have never had to worry about that. I think that is ok to do that (what I told you), Luckies can correct me if I am wrong...I would like to know what do to also.
Also, letting them swim in the lake is a bad idea. Big fish such as Nothern Pike and Muskie, would love to dine on a little rat. No, I am not joking. I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but it could easily happen. A lot of hard core fisherman use mice and rats for fishing bait for Pike and Muskie. Pike and Muskies are fast swimmers too, so they could easily zip into the shallows and take the rats before you had a chance to grab them. I wouldn't chance it. Sorta off topic, a person in Wisconsin found a dead Muskie in the water, it was over 40 inches long. They pulled it out of the water, to find a Nothern Loon in it's mouth...the fish choked on the Loon and died! The Loon perished too. Just goes to show, they have a wide menu variety. Sorry if I scared you, lol, didn't mean to.
