Thanks. After they`re done I`ll warm them up a little in some warm watter. Another question: if I defrosted them can I refreeze them afterwords if for instance the snake doesn`t eat them ? Thanks.

Not rcommended to re-freeze and reuse them....Maybe if your feeding something like a monitor/crocodilian..etc, you could re-use them, but don't re-freeze. If a snake does not eat after like 24 hours, best to throw them out.

I keep a small cooler (16 quart?), just for thawing snake food. Fill it half way with hot tap water (depending on how hot your tap water is, you don't want to cook them), toss in frozen mice and go do something else for half an hour to an hour. I usually put the mice in to thaw and clean cages while I'm waiting.
Mice sort of turn to mush when frozen and thawed again.

Just to clarify after reading my own post...I meant that once mice have been frozen and thawed, then freezing and thawing them AGAIN turns them to mush.
