For three years I've used this method. Thaw the rat in hot TAP WATER (maybe 135 degrees TOPS) for 15 minutes or so- this is after thawing at room temp for the appropriate time/weight ratio per rat.(If you try to thaw too fast in the water I've had problems with skin ripping in large rats and overall nasty things happening.) Then, toss the soggy bastard in the middle of the cage when you go to bed and in the morning...voila!, just like magic it's gone. In three years I've only had one failure to eat with this method-and in the morning in the cage was a huge dump. Couldn't blame her. Cleaned the cage, fed her that next night, no problem. Oh, yeah, I feed every 15th and 30th, when my male starts looking like an adult I'll cut him back to every three weeks.
