Help with frozen rabbit..

[Charlet_2007]

Ok i thawed out of the 5 lb rabbit.. someone told me to place it under a heat lamp which is what im doing right now..

my question is for how long and all that?

lol no idea...... hmmmmmmm.... i wonder if you could put in the oven on keep warm for a little while just to thaw it out a little.... bet it'd cit down the defrost time quite a bit..... although i wouldn't want a rabbit defrosting in my oven.......

well i set it out at 6:00 in the morning yesterday and all night it thawed out but i need to get it warm so the snake knows it there if not it want even see it..

Put it in a big ziploc bag and drop into a bucket of hot water.

The core does not need to be hot, if the outside is warm (100 degrees) it should be enough.

Have some really BIG tongs?

yeah, I agree- hot water, make sure it is thawed all the way through though. you'll need to change the water a few times atleast as it cools down.

I have had mishaps with our Ball python, can only imagine if a 200 pound snake grabbed a hand instead of the rabbit

well i heated it up like you said and put it in there she didn't take it.. maybe to early to feed her i guess..

Did you try teasing??

[Charlet_2007]

yes everything i cant think of just no apatite .. got another question? once its thawed out is it bad can you re thaw it?
