How did you thaw the rat out? That happens every now and then usually from the teeth slicing it open but still never fun lol

You probably overheated it when you warmed it up.

It happens from time to time. It's one reason why I never re-freeze a rat that has been refused. Re-freezing and re-thawing increase the chance of a spontaneous gut explosion.

Re: So gross!!!!!
This happened to me once when my male pastel was eating f/t mice. The mice that I bought had been refrozen and when my snake constricted the guts came flying out.

Re: So gross!!!!!
This happened to me once so far, talk about gross! But I was told it's probably because I unthawed it too quickly, so now I thaw them more slowly and so far not probs... but yeah gross!

Gross! Never happened to me, I always thaw slowly and in cool water for that reason. One time I had a rat's leg fall off during feeding. My snake went back and ate it afterward. :rofl:

I've had that happen when I used to warmup hopper mice in hot water before I fed them. I would always burst them open drying them off before feeding them. It was so disgusting. :bleh: :puke:
