I thaw rats by laying them out on some newspaper and setting a fan to run over them. When they are thawed out all the way through, I set them in a "hot box" I made. I outfitted a styrofoam cooler with some heat tape, one piece that runs down one side, along the bottom, and up the other. Layer in some paper towels and rats and let them heat up. I don't let them get too hot though since my snakes aren't that particular.
