f/t Rat temp..

When feeding f/t, what should the temp of the rat be when i thaw it? should i leave it out for a few hours to thaw, and then warm it up using warm water? how warm should the rat eventually get?

Normal body temps for rats and mice is the same as humans, but a degree or two warmer doesn't hurt when you're helping a heat-seeking snake identify its prey. And yes, that procedure should work out just fine for you. I'd suggest warming it in a ziplock freezer bag because you're less likely to end up with wet rat and will preserve more of the natural yummy odors that way. :)

I warm my feeders up with a heating pad.I put them in a ziplock sandwich bag and bring them to temp.I also bring them a few degrees warmer than normal human body temp.
