I got my first BP at the end of April. He has not eaten yet. I have offered a thawed weaned rat, warmed by warm water, once. I do think I may have stressed him out while trying to make it "run around" his tank with tongs. I also left it in overnight, but no luck.

I believe his temps and humidity are okay. He has some fake plants and two hides at each side of the tank, small enough for him to curl up securely inside.

I'm not too worried about him not eating, as I know BPs are notorious for that, but I hated wasting that rat last time..

I have a few questions, if you guys don't mind:

*How do you thaw your rats? How should I?
*How do you warm up your rats before feeding? I've heard the hairdryer works great but I don't think my family would allow me to put it anywhere near a rat..
*How should I offer? He seemed interested when I made it run around his tank, but then got scared of it. Is it best to just put it in his tank overnight and hope for the best?
* Is it possible at all to refreeze rats? I know most people say no, but I've heard that sometimes you can if you haven't left them at room temp or something?

Thank you for any help!
