Not a good idea, since microwave ovens are built to transmit at a resonant frequency of liquid water. As such, as soon as a part of the animal gets above freezing, that part will heat up much faster than the still frozen parts -- exactly the opposite of what's presumably desired. Maybe a high power HF transmitter/amplifier, like those used for ham radio, would work better? Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=3833
