I'm really surprised he ate them, too. I have enough trouble getting my male hoggy to eat properly defrosted food.
As sexychef says, you can defrost the pinkies in a bag in some warm water, and there shouldn't be an odour, but to be honest, this sort of thing is part of snake-keeping territory and the snake's health comes first, so a bit of a smell is better than an ill hoggy! |

keep the defrosting mouse in a seeled container until you need to feed |

because hognose snakes sense pray via smell and sight, so a frozen pinky wont give of as much sent as a 25-28c pinky.
i strongly advise that you defrost your pinkies for 2-4 hours then heat them up further with a hiar dryer or in a sandwich bag in slightly warm water |

regurge means regurgitate (to vomit)
keep a very close eye on him for the next week. make sure he has a heat source with a stat.
if you notice anything out of the ordinary get him to a vet as soon as possible |

hold up! you fed frozen not frozen-to-defrosted?
if you think its eaten a very cold pinky then i would expect regurge.
how did you manage to feed a frozen pinky? |
