Well he was extremely stinky so he needed one. I mean, I didn't have to give him a bath, but it doesn't hurt them if you do it once in a great while and make sure not to get water in their ears. He's a wild mouse, so he's a little stinkier. He's so friendly he doesn't mind. In his almost two years of life he's never had a bath, but he was so stinky this time, I just had to bathe him. He's a male so he's pretty stinky anyway. Some people chose to bathe their animals and some don't. Yesterday all my rat boys got bathed. They usually do about every two weeks or so, sometimes more if they eat messy food.
