    I thaw mine by the light on the snake cage. It gets the scent into the cage and the rodent warm. By the time the rodent is ready, the snake can't wait to take it. :Works really good for me.

    Yeah, I take all of mine out of the freezer and let them thaw on the counter for the day. While I'm eating dinner, I put their warm little bodies next to the racks and cages, like you do, to pre-scent. When I'm finished eating and the kids have the dishes finished, it is snake feeding time. They SLAM them; consistently and fabulously!!! I've never had an issue with feeding....
