I have seven from February I saved, I hung them from a wire like castor. They are hard but still sweating grease. I put them in the freezer yesterday. Is there anything I could do with em to make a lure?

Rat glands should be fresh frozen, not dried like castor. Keep them frozen until you get enough to work with and you decide what you want to do with them.

Well now I know.. thank you

I smash them up fresh into a pint jar. There’s sodium benzoate mixed in with them. As I add more, I stir them in.

I love the smell of rat glands. To make a gland lure, I mix the gland mash with blackstrap molasses.

Their attraction to most all animals we trap make them well worth saving even in a small amounts. Top shelf ingredient in my experience. Be warned about playing around making formulations its a slippery slope when the bug bites you.
