my defroster
this is my moice defroster i made. i didnt want to spend $20 on a nice looking one at the store. its just an old coffee cup that i made a foam lid for( i have sence found the right lid! lol) i microwave a cup of water for two mins then put the mouse in. after that put the lid on. it takes 13 mins to defrost a hopper mouse. the plactic thing in side is the holder, it keeps the mouse out of the hot water. its made out of a spray paint cap and a peice of plex that i had cut out.

I simply just throw some mice in a cup of warm water, and they defrost in a matter of minutes.
But, +1 for finding a fancy way of doing it  Curious... is there a bad thing about cooking the mice?

yes. cooking the meat is bad for the snake. it makes them sick, and normaly they throw up the cooked mouse and thats never good.
