With all the questions relating to frozen foods lately, i would like to find out the best and safest method for my snakes to defrost frozen mice and rats?
Can anyone help with what works best for them?
i use hot water (not boiling) just off hot from the tap (about 70 deg c ) place them in there and depending on the size of the food you may have to vary the time in the water, large rats take about 30 mins (you have to change the water at about 10 then 20 mins to keep the heat up)
this is the best method i have found because you are giving them food that has a simulated body temp and the moisture helps it slide down better
Cheers

I feed mine mice. I thaw for a few hours and then use the same method with tap water. mice only need about five minutes in the water. i usually drop it on a paper towel quickly before giving it to her, and leave some moisture on it. And if you leave pinkies in a bit too long they explode when constricted. ew. snake needs a bath after that
