how long you nuke frozen mice?

??????????????

Please tell me you're joking............................................ .....you absolutely do NOT want to nuke mice...you want to thaw them in hot tap water...if you are joking, kudos

I microwave my mice in a mug of water. It depends on the size and quantity of the mice, but pinkies are usually good after about 30 to 45 seconds and larger mice usually take about a minute. The larger mice will still have to sit in the hot water to thaw a bit.

Definitely feel the mouse before you feed your snake to make sure it's not too hot or still frozen in the middle.

I also only use one specific mug for my mice and I keep it with my reptile supplies, so there's never any confusion!

OMG don't! they explode!! (don't ask how I know)
I do something similar to Hypnoctopus, I have a measuring cup that I microwave the water in and then drop pinkies in to heat them up..
For my adults, I heat up the water and pour it into a larger container (gladware) and then float the mice in a smaller container inside it to warm them up (no sopping wet mice)
I have found my adults will take a room temperature thawed mouse, but I think it's better to have it closer to a 'live' temperature, and that's how I did it from the beginning with my first two snakes

Hot tap water works just fine. Pinkies are like a minute or two, the largest rats might be a couple of hours. Then dry them off a bit and they're good to go... delicious (I assume).

This, I've never needed to nuke water for thawing mice.

Many years ago I did nuke a mouse, he didn't explode per say but he did pop and the inside oozed out... I have to admit I just feed mine room temp... my guys don't care apparently...

Hot tap water all the way.

We always nuke water for a minute, put the mouse underwater in a sandwich baggie. I always take the mouse out (in the bag), dry the bag and feel the mouse between my fingers for a few to ensure it is warm and thawed.

It takes forever for the tap to get hot in my kitchen. So I just put cold water in a bowl and heat it in the microwave for a minute. I then put the mice in and let them sit. I've never timed it. I just check every few minutes to see if they feel warm. Sometimes with the bigger mice the water will get cold. I just drain the water and warm up some more.

If you don't want wet mice you can put them in a plastic baggie first.
