Greetings all....
 
Continuing the Rat Tail topic: You don't have to give them a bath to
shampoo their tail.  I scruffed mine over the kitchen sink with one hand
and lathered his tail up with the dandruff shampoo with the other.  He
tolerated it just fine.
 
Hope that helps a bit
 
Good health to you & yours
