    Looks fine to me.
    I hated thawing in water and decided to try a dryer method. It has worked very well for me, so I'll list what I do below in case you want to give it a try.

    24 hours prior to feeding I put frozen feeders in a ziploc bag in the fridge to thaw overnight slowly.

    About 2-4 hours before feeding I take the baggie out and sit it in the snake room to come up to room temp.

    Right before feeding, I use a hair dryer to heat up the rodent to average rodent body temp, making sure the head is a little warmer than the rest of the body.

    Feed using tongs to wiggle the rodent to simulate movement.

    I have LOVED not having to deal with wet rodents and have not had any refusals due to the change in heating process.
    Currently keeping:
    1.0 BCA 1.0 BCI
    1.0 CA BCI 1.1 BCLs
    0.1 BRB 1.2 KSBs
    1.0 Carpet 0.5 BPs
    0.2 cresteds 1.2 gargs
    1.0 Leachie 0.0.1 BTS
