I'm 7 months pregnant. Every smell gets me and I have a very sensitive gag reflex. So yeah the smell got to me. Plus I've had rats as pets and they were sweethearts. This one tried to bite me and my girl wasn't hungry at the time thats why I decided to bonk it and freeze it. It was more humane than just putting it in the freezer still alive and I've heard of people doing that. I will go back to feeding live and either stunning it or fresh kill. The rat wasn't wet but when it vooded after the bonking yeah. I won't do ot again. On the playing thing. When she is picking it up and tossing it then gnawing on the head I call that playing. She did finally eat it but it grossed me out.
It went directly into the freezer. This was the one and only time I removed it and defrosted it. I guess it voided its bowels when I bonked it. 1 good hammer blow to the head and it was done.
