Either in the fridge overnight, or if in a hurry in warm water in a sealed bag until defrosted.
likewise , mine won't eat room temp rats only when they are warm !i always do the warm water one, so quick and easy.
i defrost in a tub of hot water, changing the water once or twice till its totally defrosted. i then feed the wet rat/mouse to my snake. i figure its a good way to get fluids into them as well.

Works for me too..a bit of extra fluids is good for em is what I have been told...perhaps the doolittle farm and that mean not too hot...but about 50-60 degree should be fine. IMHO if you leave it out for a long time to defrost naturally you are only giving the bacteria time to form again...plus my cat would prob pinch it.
