You said 6 were offered and 4 refused from the 2 you thawed. So you don't typically leave the rat in the enclosure for a bit? Many of mine will refuse to strike from tongs but will happily eat it if I just set near the entrance of a hide (not right in their face) and leave them alone with it in the dark overnight.

I was just thinking the same thing!

When in doubt, just leave it in there overnight. Worst that happens is you have to clean up in the morning.
