I have decided that I want to switch my kids over to frozen/thawed or pre-killed. I plan on "building" my own CO2 chamber since I will also need to be producing frozen/thawed for my ferrets.

I successfully have gotten both of my big females to take pre-killed. Both were freshly killed and still warm and I had no problem getting them to take it. Just did the zombie rat dance.

I was just wondering how you get a rat up to body temperature without making it gross. I know soaking it in warm water is a no. I basically makes it all wet and soggy and no good for snake din din. I could try heat lamps. I have several extras laying around. Any advice?
