Best way to prepare F/T?

[Cendalla]

I let mine thaw to room temp on stacked paper towels, then warm their heads with a hair dryer before offering. I found that plastic bags, even Ziploc freezer bags, are too unreliable for keeping the warm water out (wet rats = yucky!).

Oh yeah..forgot to say I use the ziploc. It does seem to be hit and miss with the water. I like the dryer idea. I'll have to give that a go.
