yeah, you don't want to use boiling water...you end up cooking the outside of the rat before the inside is fully thawed. Warm tap water works better, not so warm it can burn your skin, but warm enough (100F or less) you can feel it as being warm on your hand. This will thaw fairly fast but not cook the rat, especially with pinkies. Just replace the water every ten or so minutes, as the frozen rodents will chill it fast initially.
