Bp didnt take food
So, i thawed two rat pups right now, and one is currently being swallowed, but my other bp refused it, so i stuck it back in the fridge, can i save it or do i have to dump it?

you can reuse a feeder once. i would put it in the freezer until you use it again.

If you thawed it in the fridge and it hasn't been out of the fridge for very long, then it's good to stick back in. It's never unsafe to dump it, though, so that's the option that I go with if I get stuck with one (I thaw at room temp though, so it's a different story).

Nope, thawed with warm water, took a very short time, and then right after she refused i put it in two ziploc bags and its in the freezer right now

i'd wait until the next scheduled feeding, or until they're tearing up their tank looking for food lol.

I read somewhere that if you thaw them quickly on a heat mat or in warm water ( as you did ) then they CAN'T be refrozen ... worth just checking around I guess .

To be fair , I'm not the best to ask as I always go for the safest route which would be to dispose of it ... I'm sure many would reuse but I play the percentages ....Why risk one of my prized possessions for a few pence ... nothing to gain and everything to lose ....
On a separate note I've always followed the advice of leaving 7 days inbetwen attempts at feeding .
