I agree. I put my frozen prey into a pan of cold tap water. After 1 hour, I use lukewarm tap water, and I change it every 15-20 minutes. After 1 hour I switch to hot tap water, every 15 minutes for an hour.

Think about it like this, if you drop an ice cube into warm liquid, it pops and cracks. The same can happen to that frozen prey.
