I actually have been feeding the fuzzies to him because he isn't big enough for the other ones... Why should I not feed those to him? (Not trying to say that in a rude way just want to know why I know it's hard to tell what tones are via text)

I raise, euthanize and freeze my own mice and when I thaw them I do so at room temp near the snake's enclosure and they never explode.
Fuzzies (and hopefully you do not feed those to a BP) thaw at room temp very rapidly there is really no need for hot water.
