Re: RTB refusing pre killed rats!!

Well I even took the rats by the tail and wriggled them right in front of her face and nothing! The strange thing is with the first frozen rat that I gave her she took very quickly without me doing anything. I just dont understand why she would refuse the rest.

Re: RTB refusing pre killed rats!!

Ok Hustler I will try fresh pre-killed rats. What is the quickest and most humane way to kill the rats though?

Re: RTB refusing pre killed rats!!

Yes maybe I let the rat cool off too long. As a rule I feed her outside the cage. I dont have forceps though!

Maybe I should just keep on trying.
