I just let them defrost at room temp, have seen pics where the snake constricts and mouse explodes just nasty!! |

we let everything from mouse pinkies to rabbits defrost naturally then heat them up with a hair drier immediately prior to feeding
defrosting pinkies at room temp should only take about an hour 
glad they're feeding for you  |

i use an old fishfood tub stick the pinkie inside that leave the tub inside the viv on/nr the warm end it defosts in no time at all and nothing can contaminate it inside the tub |

I prefer to let mice defrost naturally. Pop them in a Philly tub on a bit of tissue to keep flies away and leave somewhere handy overnight.
Get them too used to 'boil in the bag' and they will be demanding Mouse Bolognese or cheese sauce in no time.  |
