Last night was feeding night and I decided to put a glass of water in the microwave to get it nice and hot - then I put the rat in a ziplock baggy and put it in the water for about 2 min. - I realized that the water was much hotter than I normally can pull from the tap - I was worried that I may have cooked the rat in the hot water - is that possible??

I checked the rat and it was still very limp - it didn't seem hard or solid like it would if it had been cooked.

I liked using the hot water from the microwave because it really warmed the rat up but I wanted to be sure that it was okay to use the microwave to heat the water.

He ate the rat and appears to be fine this morning - no regurge or anything. I just wanted to put that out there to see what you all thought.

Thanks.
