help with rats

[CB1125]

well i have a freezer outside that i keep the rats in and today i went out to get one and there not frozen but they are still cold is it safe to still feed them to my snake i still have like 50+ left and im just making sure it will be ok and what if they freeze again?

[llovelace]

How cold were they, I think it would be ok to refreeze if they were 40-50 degrees

[CB1125]

i would guess somewhere around 40 something

For how long? Even at low temps meat will rot over time.

Well I'm not sure but last week when I fed her they were frozen so it hasn't been more than a week

Are they bagged and sealed? If you see blood and they are squishy they are pretty much done for.

I know rats are not cheap....................but is it really worth the risk??

I had frozen rats that I had kept outside once and they were totally ruined. They were all squishy and bloody so I ended up having to throw them out.
