sometimes I get the right temp and they eat the frozen ones sometimes I don't, I just wondered if there is a rule of thumb most of you find work. I generally place the rats under a 150 watt bulb to get them the final push to being warm.

they don't generally recognize them as food at room temp (which here is 79/80, and that is how I defrost them generally or I use the hot water bath.

I generally warm them up to about their normal (live) body temperature 98 degrees.
