Even my finicky girls slammed them immediately. No rewarming, no getting soggy...
I feed (or at least i try) every Sunday around 10pm. She never made a fuss if it was already dark or not so I don't think it's a big deal to her.
But I'll try to find a heat mat and probably will try again in a few weeks or in a month. The hair dryer is imo so annoying.. the rat is always "flying" in all directions.. :P
The only one who won't be pleased with the waiting is my mom with the frozen rats in her freezer :D
Thanks for the tips!

You're supposed to hold the rat down not have it spinning around all over the place - when you're blasting with a hairdryer :)

Haha i know :3
But I'm always afraid of heating it up too much.
My girl is shedding soon and will probably be hungry afterwards.
I'll try feeding her again once she's done :)
