glad to hear you got him eating! I do have a quetion though...about running the rat under hot water.
I have always heard that it takes away from the "ratty" smell, and that you should put them in a baggie, and then run them under hot water, not directly under it..
am i wrong, or is it just an opinion thing?

I do it either way depending on how I feel that day, but I haven't noticed a difference in feed response.

I would think that it would, but they still have sight and heat in that case to hone in on, and i highly doubt you are gonna wash away all the smell even if you really try. But the odd thing is, on of the suggestions i hear for trouble corns is to wash the pinky in a mild soap before attempting to feed, so who knows.

i don't think so cause i thaw all my f/t mice and rats in a bowl of water... and they are all eaten with gusto!
