    Sometimes mine do that too, I just leave the second one in there and if they haven't eaten it by morning, I throw it away. Usually they eat it at some point during the night.

    You could also try an appropriately sized rat

    I have never noticed an offensive odor. Sure they smell a little bit but once they are in the tub and I close the tub, I can't smell a thing.

    hmm.. I would try leaving it in as long as you can and leaving the room and turning off the lights. Sometimes they get shy on the second round
