Rosemary | Hey Rosemary
I personally don't think it does remove the scent , i do defrost in warm water and then straight to the cage , and mine does seems to know its feeding time because as soon as that door is opened she hits the mouse very quickly ....with in a second of me putting it in front of her ......
Although i do get bitten most times when i'm in the cage , it is a totally different response to when i have the food .so i think she must be able to smell the mouse , other wise i would get the same response with or with out food .
