    Exclamation Help!!! I thawed my mice too soon!!

    Hi, I accidentally thawed my mice too soon. I've never done this before, but I wasn't feeling it that day. I feed my spider bp every Wednesday and on Monday I thawed my mice thinking it was Wednesday. I know you shouldn't refreeze them, but can you refrigerate them? I need to know, please!

    I've only had a BP for a little bit and I've heard mixed messages about this, but you could always feed him on Monday. I've heard that a little bit of variety in their eating schedule can actually keep them feeling like they're really hunting in the wild and keeps them excited.

    Normal doesn't mean boring! 😊

    I personally refreeze them once. It's totally fine to do that.

    Refrigerating is actually worse, because it keeps them thawed. Then it most likely already went bad.

    I know, I refrigerated them, but didn't feed them to my snake because I was unsure.
