ah fudge! it's gone! guys! it disappeared XD!!! haha that was the grossest thing i've ever seen from my own collection

Honestly, that probably wasn't the rodents health so much as you using too warm of water to heat that rat up Or did you use a lamp or blowdryer? I bet if you were to let your rats air-thaw, there is a good chance you'd not see that again, at least not to that extent, which looked to be total disembowelment. Sorry, wanted to use that word

omg.. i totally forgot about that!! heating a rat with water that's too hot can cause it to burst! i haven't personally seen that, but i've heard of that! it happens mostly to pinkys.. that was probably it! i'm so relieved! horribly sight though i hope none of you guys go through that hahaha

it was like a cyst popping! ugh

I've seen it happen once or twice, and when I noticed the pattern, I immediately used cooler water, or if time permitted, a complete air thaw of the rat in a bag out on the balcony. Never had the problem since.
