Tips on F/T?

[Cowtipper]

I've never used a blow dryer, I just thaw them out in a bucket of hot water, then squeeze their stomachs. If it's still cold, I refill the bucket with hot water. Whenever they're ready, I let them sit in some hot water a bit to make sure the bodies are warm, then drop them in the enclosures. I don't use bags either, I like it when the rodents are wet, seems like they slide down easier, but I'm sure it doesn't matter. I've done it like this for over twenty years, I use the same process with frozen rabbits. Any of the ways mentioned will work, just depends on how you want to do it. I also like to just lay the food in the cage, not dangle it for them if I don't have to; it gets them used to finding their food and just eating it so when they're bigger (for my giants) it is a lot safer for me.
