This is the same method I use for my balls and it works great. I just got a female who the previous owner said she would not eat f/t rats. I use this method and she at 1 small f/t rat and 1 rat pup(on the first try without having to move them around like they were alive). I have always had success with this method. Sometimes I dont have to move it around..i just get a bowl and lay the hot thawed rat in it..and turn off the lights and all my balls take it like that.
