Care and Health
To keep your Ratese looking and feeling good, you should brush her thoroughly at least four or five times a week. It is best to use a pin brush and comb to get all the fine hair that may get matted. In fact, you may need to use a dematter every once in a while to prevent too many mats. You may need to use a gentle conditioner and conditioning shampoo when bathing to keep her hair from breaking and to prevent static. Their ears should be cleaned once a week and their toenails should be clipped with a toenail trimmer once a month.
