Help!!! I thawed my mice too soon!!

Hi, I accidentally thawed my mice too soon. I've never done this before, but I wasn't feeling it that day. I feed my spider bp every Wednesday and on Monday I thawed my mice thinking it was Wednesday. I know you shouldn't refreeze them, but can you refrigerate them? I need to know, please!

But.....it is Wednesday.

I've only had a BP for a little bit and I've heard mixed messages about this, but you could always feed him on Monday. I've heard that a little bit of variety in their eating schedule can actually keep them feeling like they're really hunting in the wild and keeps them excited.

Normal doesn't mean boring! 😊

I personally refreeze them once. It's totally fine to do that.

Refrigerating is actually worse, because it keeps them thawed. Then it most likely already went bad.

I know, I refrigerated them, but didn't feed them to my snake because I was unsure.

Thanks, guys, I guess I will just throw them out. Better safe than sorry, right? At least now I kniw better for next time
