Who said anything about thawing at room temp overnight? :confused:

I guess I should've mentioned that the method I described above was for thawing larger quantities of rodents, between 100-200 a week for me depending on the time of year, but would work just as well for smaller numbers (or larger for that matter). As I said before, i don't feed much F/T anymore, but this was a very effective and efficient way to thaw larger numbers of rodents, only using about 5 total minutes of prep time.

Fiance has been using it to thaw pinkies for Spencer, but I plan on using it next week for Zim's next feeding. Its like a little jar. You fill the jar up to the ridges with tap water, microwave it so the water gets hot, place platform over water on ridges, place mouse on platform, put top on and let let sit for 10 min. Fiance says it works like charm.
