Hmm...you could maybe try one small rat?

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 :)

Well I left it there for a while but I just cant stand the smell of it and im not the only one that complains about it...

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.

Then thats what it is i have mine in an open screen top enclosure...

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 :P

ok i'll try that...
