My local pet store finally started to carry frozen rodents, so I bought a small rat. I have tried twice now to get her to eat it, first try I go to get her out and her eyes were blue and she was ready to shed. Second time she didn't show much intrest. I unthawed it in the fidge over night first both times and then I did the bag in warm water trick. I would just like to know how to do it properly. she has eaten a prekilled rat once before, so I am thinking I am just not heating it up enough. I would like to know how long it takes and what methods you guys use when you do this. also, how long will the rat stay good. does it eventually go bad if I keep unthawing and freezing it again. Thanks for all your help.
