AH!!! Misspent youth. Good thing we grow up. Well, most of us anyways.That sounds a bit like torturing small animals to me.
I am no spca memeber and I used to pull the odd wing off a fly as a kid, but never lit an animal on fire.

5 gallon bucket 1/3-1/2 full of water. ramp to bucket lip. Drill holes in oposite sides of bucket. Take the core from a roll of paper towels and put peanut butter on the middle. Thread a dowel rod through the holes in the bucket and the paper towel roll core such that the peanut butter is positioned over the middle of the bucket and the roll is allowed to rotate freely. Rat goes up the ramp to the roll, trys to get the peanut butter, and the roll rotates dropping him into the water below where he drowns.
When I was a kid, we used to raise hogs. In the hog house every morning were dozens of large wharf rats. I used to get up before school, load my Ruger single-six with 6 rounds of snake shot in one hand and a single shot .410 in the other. I'd sneak up to the door, swing it open and start blasting away. Never hit a hog but I sure wacked a lot of rats. Great fun. (I didn't have a "normal" childhood, thank god.)
