Rats have very delicate respiratory systems, so something soothing and light for people is much more irritating to them. I haven’t heard of any specifics regarding essential oils, but its always better safe than sorry!
Also, it is *never* okay to release domesticated rats into the wild, so don’t follow above posters advice please!
Most likely, yes. They are too strong. You need for their environment to be as natural as possible. Try to make it as much like it would be in the wild for them. Better than that, just let them go in the wild once they reach a certain age. Let mother nature take over.

Hi,
For baby animal I think it’s best to use hydrosol. because it’s not too potent.
