    I've thought about using my blow dryer but didn't know if it would cook the mouse. Good to know it's okay to do.

    I use a hair dryer to it's a great tool to use when your warming them up. I let them thaw out completely or lose to it at room temp. Then put them in a ziplock bag and put them in a cup of hot water for no longer than 5 minutes. I poke a hole in my Baggie at the opposite end so I can press all the air out and the rat will sink down in the cup instead of float and the hole sticks out of the cup so water won't fill the bag. After that I dry it off in a paper towel if they did happen to get a little wet then use my blow dryer warming the body then focusing on the head. And it's funny because when I use the hair dryer they my snakes recognize the sound and they come out of their hides ready to strike.
