    No I tried to find it on google to clarify spelling and I couldn't find it either, it strongly resembles aspen!

    I used frozen thawed (by use I mean I defrost, offer and end up throwing away)

    I take the rat out of the freezer and leave to thaw at room temperature until you can feel that the rat is fully defrosted, normally an hour or two. I then use warm water (not boiling) and place the rat in a plastic bag and place it into the warm water to bring the temperature up slightly (as room temperature here is freezing). I placed a hairdryer on the nose for about 10-20 seconds.

    In attempting to feed I used tongs and attempted what has been described on here as the "zombie dance". She did attempt to strike and then gave up completely. I don't think she is open mouth striking. I have left the rat in there with her and covered the front glassed area with a towel in the hope that she will take but I fully expect to be removing the rat in the morning.

    Not sure if I'm doing something dreadfully wrong...


    Th rat wasn't overly hot at all, I would describe as warm to the touch as you'd expect a usual live rat
