Showers - Water Rats

Showers may not seem like the most pressing of concerns for rodents but, according to the report on the BBC, a colony of Cumbrian rats at a Lake District wildlife attraction have been provided with their own private showers to bathe in and the showers are proving a big hit with the well-to-do rodents. The rats are part of a feature at nature reserve at Lake Windermere and the furry fellows, and their showers, have been attracting a lot of attention from the visitors to the attraction. The showers for the rats were first envisaged when one of the workers at the nature reserve saw how the rats reacted when the plants in their enclosure were watered and it soon became apparent that the rats would enjoy having showers at their beck and call whenever they wanted one.

Showers - Keeping Cool

According to the report on the BBC, the Cumbrian rats at the Lake Windermere couldn't get enough of the water when the plants in the enclosure were watered and the colony accumulated on logs to experience the effects, which gave the workers the idea to give the rats their own showers. Speaking to the BBC, a worker at the nature reserve, Scott Davidson, states, "Whenever we watered the plants the rats would all stop what they were doing and gather together on a log where they all got a thorough soaking. They seemed to be enjoying it so much that we're now planning to give them their own special showers. As well as keeping them clean, the showers also provide them with some environmental enrichment which mirrors conditions in the wild."

Showers - Humans Like Them Too

It's not just the rodent population that have an affinity for showers. More and more homeowners are installing showers in their bathrooms and this is a trend that is anticipated to continue during the second half of 2008 and beyond. Showers are proving popular amongst homeowners who want to make the most of the space available in their bathrooms and it is clear that showers are much more space conscious than their bathtub counterparts.
