This is a really popular topic right now on another forum I belong and it's interesting the answers that I've read.

How do you thaw your frozen prey items?

I'll start.

I use a rubbermaid and with the hottest water my tap will give me I fill it and place all the rodents into it. I re-do it roughly 30 - 60 minutes later and then just again before feeding so they are nice and hot. I pat dry a bit so not to be dripping and serve!

I currently have all my snakes on paper and when they were on substrate I had no fear of impaction either with the wet rodents.
