If you want you can also take a blow dryer to it for a bit. I like to keep my f/t fairly dry when feeding. I have my rats in single servings vac sealed. I let it warm up to room temp, soak in hot water (still in the bag), then blowdry a few minutes, get it nice and warm, blast the head of it for good heat signature, then feed. Ours eats like a champ. Good luck.
