The rat felt like he was thawed but maybe there is a better 'sure' way to prepare a f/t.
to check f/t feeders i always squeeze at the hips and the head to check for cold spots, as those are the last parts of the body to thaw out (they're the thickest). maybe next time try thawing in room-temperature water after the fridge stage.
