    Re: How long do you thaw hoppers?

    We leave them at room temperature after pulling out of the freezer for 24 hours (or overnight sometimes only 16 hours). Then we place them on a warm UTH or other heat pad for about 1 hour and then feed away. You can also warm them with a hair dryer if you don't have a large number of them. This way seems to thaw them slowly enough that they don't get slightly cooked or stomach ruptures.
