Never use a microwave, which cooks prey unevenly, and never feed a rat that's still cold or partly frozen in the middle.

Thaw in a sealed bag in the fridge, or in room-temperature water changed every 10–15 minutes, until soft all the way through — never in a microwave, which cooks prey unevenly. As the largest bird in the range, this can take the better part of a day to thaw fully in the fridge; check the body cavity is soft, not just the surface, before offering it. Warm the thawed quail in warm water for a few minutes before offering it, as many reptiles respond better to a warm feed.
