The method I use is to fill up my utility sink pretty full with luke warm water. I then let the rats sit (in plastic bags) to thaw. My method of checkign when ready is to hold the rat underwater inbetween my two hands for a bit of time and if I feel any cold I let them sit longer.

Small rats take about an hour for me to thaw this way and obviously the larger, the longer.
