I forgot a box of 15 rats out of the freezer

I was organizing my rodent freezer and forgot a box of 15 medium rats out of the freezer for 24 hours. I know, I know I'm an idiot but I want to ask if anyone has done that and reused the rodents anyway and did you have any ill results? The rodents were originalyy received rock hard with dry ice.
Please advice since I'm about to throw them away

Unless they got real warm and smell really bad, refreeze them. I have had refusals that I refroze and they were fine. Would only refreeze one time though.

Are you sure ? I don't want to risk anything
Someone elso told me to chuck em if they were for a snake

Go with your gut. Noone on here can see or smell the rats to give advise. All I can tell you is I have refroze rats with no problems, once again I would puy the majority of my decision on how they smell.

one time i left an entire flat of brine shrimp out over night so don't feel dumb!! stuff happens!
