Real time help in feeding

OK, 100g mouse been sat on top of my wooden viv since about 9.30. I positioned it over the heat lamp so the warmth would defrost it. How long till its ready to be stuck in water and then roughly how long in water?

Cheers

I defrost by letting them sit until they feel floppy and thawed out. I don't put them in water at all, but if you do, then it should be more than a couple minutes I wouldn't think.
Not sure what time 9.30 was, but thawing shouldn't take very long for a mouse. Mine seem to thaw in about 20 minutes sitting at room temps.
Good luck!

I don't think mice can even get to 100g. Was that a typo? Ball Pythons don't even need 100g of prey per meal, 40-50g maybe depending on their size. I bet ya meant 10g

I don't think mice can even get to 100g.

Mighty mouse maybe?
