I'll start off by saying Gambit took his second F/T feeding with me!!! I fed him two this time because just one was too small and the next size I could find was way too big, so I gave him a medium sized and smaller sized rat pinky. Now to the question......While thawing the rats, I noticed tiny pieces of bedding (from the supplier) stuck to the rats. I tried to remove as much as I could (they were small) but, should I rinse the rats off first, or will that take some scent off? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
