F/T Rat Question?

[jfreels]

If it helps, here's what I do....

- In the morning I put all the mice/rats in a gallon ziplock.
- Before I start dinner, I put warm water into my feeder bowl and put the mice/rats in.
- After dinner, pour out the water and replace it with fresh warm water and then I go feed the snakes.

I've never had one "bust" on me. My previous mice came from Rodent Pro and my rats I got from Charles Cardell of Cider Reptiles & Rodents.

You should let your dad buy one a week and let him feed live!

I think I may have cooked it possibly. I usually warm up water in the microwave for a min and let the rat lay in the water for an hr. Then I run hot water for like a min over it to warm it up for my bp.
But it has never cooked a mouse b4 and thats how I do it everytime

If It was rotten do you think thats why My snake wasnt eating it?

Course the last time I buy from petsmart
Now I get em nice and plump at my exotic store and freeze em myself.

I just prefer feeding f/t. Live has too many risk factors.

I thaw mine in hot tap water. I'll change the water 2 times...and then blow dry. No problems here.
