If you have a vacuum sealer you can vac seal them and heat in water as well. Best of both worlds. Thermal conductivity of water and they stay dry. To take it a step further, you can get an immersion circulator and heat the water to the exact temp you want. So in theory you could heat the water to 98-100°, vac seal your mouse/rat and in 45-60 minutes the whole thing will be heated through to exactly the temp you have the water at.
I have not dine this but I plan to try it when I switch to frozen/thawed. It helps that I already have an immersion circulator.
