Because of the larger size, allow extra time to thaw: a sealed bag in the fridge overnight, or room-temperature water changed every 10–15 minutes until soft all the way through the body — never a microwave, which cooks prey unevenly. Warm the thawed mouse in warm water for a few minutes before offering it, as many reptiles respond better to a warm feed. Never refreeze a thawed mouse — feed it the same day or discard it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHandling and hygiene\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTreat frozen prey like raw meat: thaw it separately from human food, wash your hands and any tongs or containers after handling, and disinfect the thawing area.
