So, I try to give a feed this weekend. I take the frozen rat out Saturday afternoon and let it thaw at room temp. Several hours later when it is feels soft and limp and put it under my heat lamp for 30 mins of so. I turn it ever a few mins to make sure it is thoroughly warmed up. I put it in and walk away for a bit. I come back and the thing is bleeding from the gut! Gross me the eff out! Chloe has changed hides so she obviously came out. Howver, I do not know if the bleeding was cuased by her attacking it of if it just started on its own.

I had to tell my wife not to look. I removed the thing and threw it away before it could bleed all over the tank. I washed everythign that had blood on it.

So, was this a fluke? Did I thaw it too long? Wamr it up too long?

I want this to not happen again.
