Please Help, Me and My Baby Ball are Desperate

[JodanOrNoDan]

I've got a young male right now who did something similar to the bucket thing this week.

I usually crack tubs open enough to feed before I blow dry the rats to get the smell and heat them up, but this boy just popped out and snapped it right out of the tongs "cold" (aka room temp, about 75) before I could heat it at all.

Yeah, that's cool. It is the kind of behavior you can mess with if you want. You have to be careful though that the rat is the the warmest thing in the vicinity or they can get confused and worst case go for your face. I think it is funny when they get that excited but I am pretty nimble for an old dude. My wife has gotten tagged a couple of times on her hands though because she doesn't always do the mental reset that even the most docile ball can get really excited when they smell rat.
