Rats 
I have thawed small mice before. I do that ig a cup of hot water for 20 mins. and it works fine. Now I am going to have to thaw out rats which are much larger than those mice. What is the best way to do that. I do not want to let it start rotting and stinking. It seems like it would take so long. Thanks for the advise.

If your skilled try the microwave for a few seconds or so. JUST MAKE SURE THEY DON’T BLOW UP.

For large rats, I just thaw them out on the kitchen counter in an empty container (rat in the bag, bag in the bowl) until they are completely thawed out, (several hours) then I take a bowl of hot water and stick the bag of thawed food in there for about 5 minutes.
