It's not only good for their health, it's good for the smell they carry. It's not that bad of an odor, but it can be if you don't bathe them once a month. Some rats even like water. Mine did. He'd swim like all get out!!!

You can bathe a pet rat but, honestly I wouldnt it causes them lots of stress and its not really necessary. Most rats do not like baths!!!! So if I were you I would buy special wipe you can get to clean them

For the question above:
He probably was a bit scared.

For the actual question:
Its good the the rats health. If your going to give them a bath, make sure its warm water. If its too cold, they can get sick and die.
