I had some troubles feeding frozen thawed, until i started offering them properly. I let the frozen rats slowly air-thaw in the warm snake room for a couple of hours. The room is around 78 degrees, so they thaw out nicely. The snakes catch the heavy scent of the rats and go into feed mode!
I no longer thaw in water as the snakes seem to prefer air-dried-thawed rats, possibly the give off more scent this way.
Then when they are FULLY thawed, I heat the rats up to 100+ with a hairdryer. I have much better results doing this, and I suspect the large majority of keepers that think their snakes wont eat thawed, arent doing it right. As i had this problem myself in the past.
