The mistake I made was thawing out the mouse in the bag it came in, as that resulted in a wet mouse. What works better is to take the mouse out of the bag and put it on a paper towel, leaving it at room temperature to thaw. Just make sure it's not at all frozen, even inside (tummy should be soft).

I've read that once they've had live, they won't take frozen, or at least it's much harder to.

Heck, at least you know yours if a male. We don't even know that about ours! Welcome to the boards. There's a ton of info here, the advanced Search function is very good, and those sticky threads are goldmines of info.
