They pretty much have no control over bodily functions and it just comes out when it comes out.
Only *once* have I ever seen a rodent “hold it”.
It was my pet rat, Rita and we were visiting my landlady for several hours.
When I left and had barely made it off her back porch, Rita let loose a torrent of pee that was impressive.
I have no idea how that little rat managed to contain it that long when physically, it’s just not normal.
My landlady was so amazed and delighted that Rita was “polite enough to hold on” for all that time.
Maybe she was.

Must say I have read and enjoyed many of your posts during my years on FR.
As soon as I started reading about a pet rat, I guessed who it was before looking. Don’t recall reading about the pet rat before, but somehow I’m not too surprised. :)
