I guess I should ask how you defrost your f/t?
I take them out of the freezer, put them into a baggy, and let them thaw in the refrigerator. When they get soft I put them under a heat lamp for about 10 minutes and offer them to the snake.

I used to let them thaw out in room tempurature but I was told that was a bad idea because their insides might still be frozen even though they may seem thawed.
