Hey Jimmyg,
As long as they are completely thawed and feel wrm to your touch, then they should be fine.
I seperate mine into individual ziplock baggies and fill the sink up with hot water.
It usually takes one sink full to thaw and a refill of hot water to get them warmed up for feeding.
As for popping, like Karen said, it is MESSY!
Some times they pop when ya pick them up and most of the time on the initial strike from the snake.
Clean up is a pita as they stink when turned inside out, so don't nuke them or boil them.
And hope your snake doesn't hit as hard as mine do at times.
