The best way to thaw rodents is either overnight in a fridge or during the day at room temps, once thawed you just warm it up with a hair dryer. In the second case it also serve the purpose of scenting which entice the animal to eat.

Caution when thawing especially with larger prey, if done too fast the prey can be thawed on the outside while still froze in the inside which can lead to serious issues.
So is leaving the rodent in on the table overnight till the next day till like 5-6pm is that too long of having it sit out I doubt that the inside is still frozen and when I put it in hot water it's only in there for 3-5 mins no longer is that is too long of being in the water and I tryed the hair dryer but I haven't had any luck with it so I stop trynna use it cause he was striking at it when I used the hair dryer what are a few sighs that I can look at the frozen rodent and tell it's bad like is there any color different or anything I should look for that would tell me it's bad only time I smell the rodent is when it wet that's all other then that I don't smell anything that's bad smelling
