I would try warming the rat up a bit so he can sense the "body heat" of it. I use a heating pad to warm up my rats for feeding it it seems to work great. I have also gone ot wetting the back half of the rats, letting water absorb into the fur of the rat, to assure that the moisture lost from Frozen Rats is regain in water held in the fur. Don't wash the rat and loose the scent, put get the back half wet with water.
I hope this helps
