How to thaw fuzzys?

Hi, I was wondering how long it takes to thaw out a fuzzy? And how do you tell it is completely thawed out? I use the method where you put the fuzzy in a bag and soak in almost-hot water.

Thank you!
 
hot water straight from the tap. Do not heat it on the stove or in the microwave. Drop the mouse into the water. A small mouse will be thawed in about 15 minutes, a big mouse in about 30. The snake will appreciate it more if it's still warm when you offer it to him. Snakes can sense heat, and a living mouse should be warm anyway. If the mouse is cold, the snake may not eat it.
 
it could get too hot and you may actually cook the mouse. All you want to do is thaw it out. Just get a small bowl, fill it up with hot tap water and put the mouse in it. It's that easy. Think of it like this - Take an ice cube out of your freezer and drop it in a bowl of hot tap water. How long for the ice cube to melt? This isn't rocket science.

Besides, cleaning an exploded rat from a microwave oven is not something I care to do.
 
Oh, ok, yeah I know you can't heat the mouse on the stove or microwave, I thought you were saying I couldn't heat the water in the stove or microwave.
 
Colubrids dont have heat pits, so at work I just put a bag of pinkies/ fuzzies in my pocket and walk around for 15 mins and they're good lol. As long as they're not super cold.

You can heat the water only up on the stove or in a microwave oven BUT if the water is too hot the mouse's stomachs can still blow open. Even extremely hot water from the tap can pop a mouse open.:puke02:

WHAT ??? LOL That's a new one :roflmao:

I guess if it's been working for ya lol Just keep in mind that the mouse got to be thawed internally and should be warm. Corn snakes can definitely sense heat and it is a feeding trigger for most. If their any cold then their probably partially frozen on the inside :cheers:

PS not laughing at you. It just struck my funny bone ;)

Lol body heat works really well. They're always nice and squishy when I feed them. Its easier for me because the water at the store doesn't heat up very well.

well it probably wouldn't around here, not outside anyway. It's going down to 24 tonight.

Brrrrrr.

Hey Rufus, throw another log on the fire.
 
hahhahahha

yes I knew what you meant. But I'm saying if you're standing outside the Mouse won't thaw because it's very cold here tonight
 
Just don't get sidetracked and forget you have a raw dead mouse in a baggie inside your pocket!!! Could make for an unpleasant reminder that you haven't fed the snake yet when you find it later...... :p
