I used to do it that way but a lot of the time when you thaw them too quickly they explode on impact. It is really gross and messy. It is also gross when you have a rodent juice spill. All I do now is leave them on top of my freezer in the morning and then put them under a lamp a few minutes before feeding. No water, no rodent bombs, no mess.
