First time trying f/t. So I warmed up a small rat for my sons snake today in warm water inside its plastic bag. It seemed thawed and warm. I opened the cage expecting Mario to come flying out of his hide to eat. I had it on tongs and nothing. Mario never moved from his hide. I tried to mimic it moving around and still nothing. The room is dark and quiet with no activity what so ever. I ended up just dropping the rat and leaving. Checked back a few ours later and still nothing. Mario hasn't moved. Should I remove it and try again tonight? I read about the zombie walk and other tips but those do me no good. Do I need to throw this rat away and start fresh tonight?
any help is appreciated.
