I tend to be overly cautious, and if my guys won't eat, I usually end up tossing the rat =/

    Try giving him a few more days before you offer again? Maybe he'll be hungrier and not care as much.
    Temperature is important, not too cold, not too hot. Remember, you're trying to make it look like live food. A live rat's body temp is about 100f.... Try zombie walking it some more too, tongs may be helpful. Try to make it look like its still alive!
