Scratch on my Rat

[JashinsAngel]

So I just placed my new hairless rat with my boys in their main cage, all went well they treated him with respect and ddint attack. The intros went well so I assumed it would go well and i was right.

Well my dominant boy sly was grooming Valentine and accidentally scratched the little guy. It's not deep but i'm wondering what i can do to make it better. Like if i need to clean it or worry about infections and stuff.

I did take them and clip their nails after i saw the scratch.

Nakies always get scratched. We use healx

if you have a nakie, you will have to get used to scratches...its part of owning one of these little guys. The scratches may even look inflamed for a day then it will heal well. The rats seem less concerned about the scratches then we are. IF there is a fight and the rat seems uncomfortable, you can give them a little infant ibuprofen to take away some of the sting.
