Is this fuzzy rat safe to feed or should i throw it away?

i bought a frozen thawed fuzzy rat today from the local pet store to feed my snake mazikeen and didn’t look closely at it until i took it out to heat up for her, and i’m a beginner owner so i could just be paranoid but it doesn’t look good, i left it to thaw a while and it bled like most of my rats but it bled a LOT more than i’ve ever seen which threw me off guard and i also saw its tail was falling off, and one of its hind legs looked like it was halfway to falling off too, it looks like it might be bc of it being frozen, but i don’t know if it’s bc of being frozen or not but it’s concerning me and i don’t wanna feed it to her unless i know it’s okay, i’m posting this on mobile so idk if i can add pictures but from my vague explanation can anyone tell me if the rat is okay to feed or if something might be wrong with it?

We're not actually seeing it you know ;) but don't worry about tails or legs falling off...they're fragile when frozen & get jostled around. Can't tell about the blood, but
I'd go by a sniff test to tell if it's actually "bad" or not (-as in spoiled). Actually, if a frozen-thawed rodent actually "looks good" to you, you might just be a snake...:rofl:

i’m sorry i couldn’t upload any pictures, but thank you i was a bit worried that something was wrong w the lil rat and i didn’t wanna accidentally harm my baby maze by giving her a bad rat.

maybe i am a snake....just hiding during the day, slithering around eatin some scrumptious rodents, that’s the life man
