I haven't tried the hair-dryer technique but I'm willing to give it a shot to see if it works. I usually thaw out my fuzzies and put them under a heat lamp for about 5 minutes. My bp seems to strike at it and has no trouble eating (granted, he's only eaten 5 times because I got him about a month ago haha). I've seen the hair-dryer thing done on a YouTube video of a guy who keeps ball pythons so I'm sure it works very well. Thanks for posting!
