I found that soaking them in open air water isnt that efficient as the heat dissapates rather quickly beofre it can thaw the rat. I use a cooler and thaw about 10 jumbos at a time. I put my hottest bath water into the cooler with the rats, let it sit for a while, and then they are thawed out. But by that time, the cold rats and the hot water have cancelled eachother out and now both are room temp. Which I then empty out the water and put some more hot in to warm up the rat for eating. If you are only doing one or two rats at a time, you may not even have to re-add hot water, becuase it will still be plenty warm. hope this helps.... Jon
