I have no idea what to make of this.

i have had rats as pets for years and i can tell you they are more fastidious on cleaning themselves than a cat.

though my two old masked dumbo rats do not just sit there in the water....of course they are too old to escape,so they sit in the soapy water and just stare at me with pleading eyes..'why? why are you doing this to me?"

but once they get toweled off they are preening themselves for an hour.

you can also potty train them.

saw this just on FB. had over 10M views.

Master Splinter is just washing off the sewage his turtle students brought in.

After all that dirty street pizza? Probably hates himself and just can't get clean. Pretty sure I see tears of self loathing.

EWWW!!! THAT'S FUCKING GROSS!!!




He like, washed his face AFTER washing his ass. That's just wrong.

They ARE <EVOLVING>.

The water was added in post production, the rat is covered with bad tasting soap and is trying to brush it off without grooming normally (because licking it would taste horrible).

love shower vids. Wonder what conditioner and shampoo was being used.

IFLS seems to suggest that it isn't a rat, and more notably it isn't enjoying it, it might be in pain...

Yeah this isn't normal rodent grooming behaviour. The animal isn't cleaning itself - rather, it has been covered in soap (quite a lot of it) and can't get it off. This looks like cruelty.

would have been 5x funnier if someone kept dropping new shampoo on him like those stupid beach shower prank videos.
