So last night I fed my BP (I feed about every other week). He is usually a good eater but this time he didn't seem to take to it. Weird. I left it in his enclosure for a few minutes and he took it while I wasn't watching.
So turns out those frozen rats (that are NOT vaccum sealed) were ordered in September last year?!
I don't know how I didn't realize earlier. It felt like only a few months ago I ordered them! It's obviously why he didn't seem too keen on the rat.
They all seem fine and smell fine, and they may have a tiny bit of freezer burn, but not to the point of looking like mummified rats.
Will my BP be okay? I know the rats are only supposed to last up to 6 months or maybe up to 9 if vaccum sealed. Should I just go ahead and throw them out and order some new ones?
