thank you for your reply! He currently lives with my boyfriend and they would be disgusted with any rodents in the freezer.. so I have to stay away from that lol.

My pet store offered to kill the rat for me, but im not sure Ill be able to get it home in enough time.. Any ideas on how long it will stay warm?

Ive got to feed again tuesday so Ill try to give the rat a treat.

Dont some people hold a live rat with tongs too? That prob stresses them out though too. Hmm..
