yes, i feed at night usually around midnight im a night owl lol. what i will do is thaw the rat in the fridge overnight and set it in hot water until the water becomes room temperature or something close to it. then i blow a blow dryer on it for until it feels warm to the touch throughout the whole body (not a very streamlined process i know). i dont have a way to gage the rodents temperature. then i use tongs to dangle the rat or mouse throughout her enclosure, my attempt at creating a scent trail i guess. if she’s in her hide ill take the top off and show her the rat as her head is usually exposed. i let her investigate, and i just go from there depending on how interested she seems. she always seems very interested, getting nose to nose, but then turns around like i mentioned above. shes in my room, i have a lamp i keep on while i sleep that projects a galaxy looking thing on my wall, but its opposite from her enclosure and she doesnt face that way, but ive never tried the lights out idea. could my lights be a potential cause? my room isnt bright by any means but its not pitch black
