Re: Snake ate substrate
Thanks for the help everyone! From now on I won't feed right on the substrate, hopefully all is well with him.

Re: Snake ate substrate
Once my rats are thawed i place them in a glass bowl on top of a radiator for five minutes, then as i am about to feed each item i press its skull against the radiator to give that the hottest temperature and a nice target to ai for

Re: Snake ate substrate
Usually my f/t is dry, because I thaw it in a bowl of warm water while it's still in a ziploc bag, but after I took the prey out I dunked his head in the water to get it warmer. Looks like I won't be doing that twice.

Re: Snake ate substrate
As I said in the other post I feed in tank too and I used to use aspen and feed on a plate . They would still pull it away and ingest some aspen . So I prefer to use snake carpet . It is safer for in cage feeding and it is far more reusable and easier to clean. Just kept enought to put fresh stuff in when you clean , wash it and reuse it.

Re: Snake ate substrate
I put mine in the fridge overnight to thaw then just dip in hot water. Guess I could try using a hair dryer...

I used the snake carpet and always had problems with smell. No matter how many times I washed it, it always smelled like urine =/
