I put my f/t into a "snack" sized ziploc bag and accelerate the thawing by either running them under warm water (not hot - pinky skin can "cook", turning a milky gray, while not adequately thawing the innards), or if I'm multitasking at my 'puter, by simply putting the bag between my leg and the chair.
Yes, I sit on my feeders, so to speak. 98.6 plus the reflection/insulation of a leather chair makes quick work of it, without 'cooking' them.
:laugh01:
Then again, I'm only feeding three juvenile corns and a hatchling redtail - the largest prey item is hopper size. I wouldn't try this with adult mice.
Those ziploc bags will go in my armpits. :laugh:
