Feeding F/T

I am pretty new to f/t feeding. Is a mouse with a really dark bluish-green stomach bad or is it just the way they look sometimes when thawed out. ???
thanks

anybody have any useful info? I am waiting to feed my hungry girl. haha

Not really sure but I would think that you are fine, it is probably due to bursting blood vessels that filled a cavity and your snake's acid will digest it all the same. Like I said though, I'm not an expert, just my opinion.

Can you post a pic?
If it was bad it would really stink once thawed. If it does i would toss it.

First 2 with flash. Last without flash

and they were defrosted by sitting in my sink for like 5 or more hours. no hot water.

should i just feed her the left one this time around instead of both. she normally eats 2. But the one on the right looks kinda bad to me

personally I don't like to feed FT rodents that look like that. My thoughts on it, it looks like rigor to me, which means that it was dead for a while before it was frozen. Just IMO, I could be wrong. I work in a hospital, and double as the morgue attendant, but I'm sure there are other things that can cause that. Personally i wouldn't risk it. That's why I started breeding my own rodents. I know they are safe. LOL

That doesn't look very good....

and also, where is a good place to order frozen mice online. Mice from petsmart/petco are way too expensive. Does anyone know a good place to order online?

I like Laynelabs, only one I have used so far

I 2nd Layne Labs. I've used rodents from other online suppliers and believe they have better quality feeders. Also, their animals tend to be a bit more expensive, but the shipping was less. So it pretty much evened out for me. Could definitely depends on how far you live from them of course.

Find a company closest to you. Some of the major ones are: Layne Labs, Rodent Pro, Big Cheese. Or you can try finding a breeder near you and they might sell you rats/mice. The breeder for my snake froze around 26 rats for me for a VERY FAIR PRICE. :banana::banana:

Layne Labs is awesome. They donate feeders to zoos and other educational places that needs rats :)
