    Is it ok to feed rats that have been 3 days in the fridge?

    Long story short: due to various family reasons I had to go to my house on Wednesday (I keep my BP on my apartment) and usually I feed her on fridays, but I fell insanely sick, and couldn't make it to my apartment until today. The thing is that I asked my roommate to take a rat pup from the freezer and put it in the fridge on friday morning (thinking I would get there Friday).

    The question is: Is it ok to feed rat pups that have been 3 days in the fridge (this would be their first thawing)?



    PS: I just weighed Volvagia and she is 111g not bad for a july hatchling, right?

    Perishable food is safe to eat for 7 days if kept at 41 F and 5 days at 45 F. No problem keeping a rat in fridge for 3...

    Should have been fine, but better safe than sorry I suppose.
