    Re: Striking response and eating

    Are you sure the f/t rats are heated up properly? I take mine and put in hot water and let it soak for about an hour and a half. Never use boiling water as this will cook the rat. Then about 5-10 minutes with a blow dryer and like last night mine almost comes out of his tank after it and he hits and coils like a freight train. I'll then grab a leg or tail with my forceps and just shake it a little bit a couple times to simulate it struggling.
    I think the biggest mistake some make with f/t is not letting them thaw out long enough, you have to get that core of the rat thawed out as well.
