One of the handiest dish designs ever. Rats love to have a wash, and are often seen perched on the edge of their water dish, gleefully washing and splooshing all over. Vasco was a serious bather, and deliberately waited for me to show up with fresh water, and was the first one to bathe.
Other rats much prefer water to a rat box, too. Havelock preferred a ‘toilet’, so I kept a larger dish of water on the floor, for that purpose.
I love how the water just doesn’t seem to “dig” away… really cute.
I use those ceramic dishes for my canaries because they make an excellent bathtub. Looks like they make great bathtubs for rats too!
