    ok to save f/t mice??

    I have a baby BP, Jade. I have had 4 weeks of successful feedings, twice a week on fuzzies...guess I was lucky. This is the first night she has not eaten and didn't show even the most remote glimpse of being interested in it. Can I save the fuzzy in the fridge and try again tomorrow?
    Thanks

    I think if you just defrosted it and had it out for a little bit, and then save it for the next day it should be fine. If you left it out for a while or the next time you take it out you should prolly throw away I think

    If they miss a week--no biggy. Just toss the F/T back in the freezer. If I have a snake I am feeding heavy I will try again mid-week (my feed day is Tues, so this means Fri or Sat). I think that's too long to keep it in the fridge, so I freeze it for those few days. I think doing this once per F/T rat is okay. You don't want to keep doing it or bacteria may build up.
