Left Freezer Open - Rats?

A week ago, I left my mini-fridge door open about an inch for about 18-24 hours, and in the top freezer portion is where I keep my feeders. I had a bunch of small leftover mice, five rat pups and three small rats. When I realized the next day that I had left the freezer door open, the rats were still in the top freezer part, but the smaller rats and mice had thawed out fully and were really soft but still quite cold.The bigger rats were still frozen all the way through.

I have since bought new feeders because I was unsure whether it would be safe to feed the ones from before. What do you guys think? Should I just cut my losses and throw out the feeders from before, or is it still safe to feed them to my snakes? It was probably under 24 hours that I had the fridge door open, probably between midnight of Day 1 and 5 PM of Day 2. Thanks

Well some people thaw them out overnite and offer them then refreeze if they arent eaten so i would think you would be good since they didnt get fully thawed and lit up w/ a blowdryer...

I think they should be ok. But, If you smell anything out of the ordinary, I'd toss them just to be safe.
