Frozen thawed/

[Marissa@MKmorphs]

improperly thawed prey can lead to regurgitation or worse death, so make sure anything you feed is properly thawed.

For that the best way is to thaw the prey item slowly at room temps and re-heat with a hair dryer.

Thawing in hot water can lead to a prey thawed on the outside while still frozen in the inside.

Again the key is SLOW thawing.

I thaw my rodents room temp for about half a day, and when I am certain they are all fully thawed and room temp I take a low wattage heat mat made by Ultra therm (can order from reptile basics), lay a piece of foil down and let my rodents warm up on that slightly warm mat until they are slightly warmer than room temp. I have about 80 snakes to feed, so with this large heat mat I'm able to warm up, and keep warm many rodents (about 2 dozen small rats) at a time, so my feeding is as efficient as possible.
