With the information I have gained on the board, YouTube and with my own culinary background my method has been working really well. I place the the frozen feeder in a BPA free ziplock bag the night before and let it thaw in the fridge.
The following night when I’m ready to feed I heat several inches of water in a Pyrex bowl (microwave) For 2 1/2 to 3 minutes until the water is about 140°. This particular bowl has a plastic lid so I throw the bagged rat in there and cover for 15 to 25 minutes depending on the size of the feeder (20g-30g I’m working with) I give it a bit of an inspection to make sure there is no cold spots. Then I finish it off with a heat gun on low and get the head up to 100°, body stays in the mid to high 90s. Either Roxy is picked up on the ritual of the process or that rat is at an optimal heat because she gets so excited and never misses a strike.
