Smile How Do You Thaw Your Rodents?

Hi all, it's been awhile since I have posted on here and I thought this topic would provide a few different perhaps interesting answers. Seeing as everyone has their own way of doing things that work well for them...
So... How do you thaw your rodents?

put it on the snakes cages on sunday morning, then feed them on sunday arvo/ night.. by then they know they are feeding so i get a great feeding response from all my snakes.. but what i do is i put the rat/mouse somewhere in the cage so the snake has to find it.. its amazing how quickly they find it after waking up!!
