An upright, frost-free freezer by Frigidaire - 11.3 ft3
A vacuum-packed package of frozen small rats from Cajun Mice.
Tools of the trade: an Excel spreadsheet to tell me who is eating what and
how many of each size to thaw, zip-loc freezer bags to store the opened
packages, and low & wide plastic containers for defrosting the rats.
The correct number of rats have been counted out. I place these in the
refrigerator on Saturday night to begin the thawing process in advance of
Sunday feeding night.
After removal from the refrigerator, I float the containers on hot tap
water. After an hour or so, I shake the containers to flip the rats, replace
the water with new hot water, and then float them for another hour. Presto -
warm rats for hungry boas. For pinky rats, I just take them directly from
the freezer at the last minute and place them directly in hot tap water.
