Even my finicky girls slammed them immediately. No rewarming, no getting soggy...
    I feed (or at least i try) every Sunday around 10pm. She never made a fuss if it was already dark or not so I don't think it's a big deal to her.
    But I'll try to find a heat mat and probably will try again in a few weeks or in a month. The hair dryer is imo so annoying.. the rat is always "flying" in all directions..
    The only one who won't be pleased with the waiting is my mom with the frozen rats in her freezer
    Thanks for the tips!

    You're supposed to hold the rat down not have it spinning around all over the place - when you're blasting with a hairdryer

    Haha i know :3
    But I'm always afraid of heating it up too much.
    My girl is shedding soon and will probably be hungry afterwards.
    I'll try feeding her again once she's done
