    I put mine in hot water in bags. Some people will use hairdryers to heat them up.

    I'll second the others - I've always let them thaw in baggies in hot water.

    If on occasion some water leaked into the bag and got the rat wet, I would run them under the hairdryer for a few seconds right before feeding to dry the fur, just because I'm OCD about it leaving damp spot in the cage
