Re: Rats keep or toss them?
It depends how long you've had the rats thawed and what condition they're in when you try to refreeze them. If they still feel pretty firm I think it would be ok to refreeze them one more time. I wouldnt recommend doing it more than once though.

Re: Rats keep or toss them?
It depends on how much decomposition has occurred which will depend on how hot it was.
When puffy toss em.
If it's only been a couple of hours and it's not been left in the hot spot, one re-freezing is ok.
The soundest solution though is one of two choices.
Get a Tegu.
Get a Monitor.
That way you never waste a rat.
Re: Rats keep or toss them?
I HATE FROZEN FOR ONE HARDLY NONE OF MY BALLS WOULD EAT THEM & THEY STINK REAL BAD AFTER THEY THAW OUT,STARTED BREEDING MY OWN ASF's.
Re: Rats keep or toss them?
I thaw out the mice for my balls first. If some of them do not eat which is rare. I can give the mice to my redtailed boas. They will eat everything in front of them.
Re: Rats keep or toss them?
I toss them out becasue I feel refreezing them increases the chance of them popping the next time I present them and they get constricted. If my guys ate F/T without constricting, I might consider it.
