Need a little help. I just offered Daisy her first F/T small rat. She was fed live rats by the breeder, "right before they opened thier eyes", he said. She seemed interested, but not terribly. I covered the front of the tank, but it's been 30 min. now and nothing.

She has been kept for a week in the ideal environment with minimal handling. The rat was thawed at room tempurature overnight and put under the CHE for half an hour prior to offering.

Was the rat too big? How long should I leave the rat in there? Should I have dangled the rat?

TIA
Tony
