How to prepare a frozen mouse?

Our tap doesn't get that hot. Basically, the first thing I do (it's easier to do while still frozen) is slit the sides. Then, I'll get a small bowl and fill it with warm water, and put the food in to thaw. While that's thawing I start a small pot of boiling water. Once the pinky/mouse is thawed (takes a bit with lukewarm water) I "brain" it. Then I dunk for 3-5 seconds and it's ready to go. Plissken is such a timid picky eater. I actually have to leave him in a container with the pinky, cover the container completely, and walk away for a while.
 
I have a mug that I don't use at all, I put a cup of water in the microwave until it's almost to boiling, then put that in the mug, and then dunk the mice in there until they're plenty warm. If it winds up getting a little boiled.. well, none of them have refused it slightly cooked!
 
Here's my routine

I have a special defrosting cup for my snake. Run the tap until the water is hot, fill the cup and drop the mouse in. By the time I have Nigel weighed and set up in his feeding container, the mouse (fuzzys as of now) is thawed and warm....Order Up!
