the best way to thaw rats with out is to place them in cold water first.. i use this method with thanksgiving turkey too..lol

I swear this works.. throw your rats directly in cold water for about a 30 mins or so to soften the critter and then put em in hot tap water to warm em up...

what happens is when you just throw the rat/mouse in hot water your immediately "cooking the rat" hence why the skin is so fragile and breaks open easily. when you cold thaw the rat first then put it in the hot water you're warming up the rat faster and you wont have to worry about cooking the insides. i've only done this once and i should really follow my own advice but seriously. try cold thawing it first like i said and see if that works better. it may take a little longer but it's worth not cleaning up the mess or having to smell it..

in louise's case it's worth not losing the tail.. lmao
