I left them sitting out :\
So on Saturday I bought a box of f/t nice for Calliope. I heated one up, and fed it to her, and all went well. Sadly due to how hectic and stressful the day got, I completely forgot to put the other three mice in the fridge, and they were left sitting on the kitchen counter for several hours. Once I realized my mistake, I quickly put them in the freezer, but I'm worried that they may not be good anymore. I'm very aware of the "when in doubt, throw it out" rule, but I do want to be sure. I don't want to make Calliope sick, but mice are expensive. Of course if they aren't good I won't feed them to her, and I will get some new mice for her but I figured I'd just ask you guys to be sure. I'd never want to give my snake food poisoning by giving him mice that are no longer good so hopefully you guys can help. If I don't get any replies, I will just throw the mice out and buy new ones. Mostly just looking to see if they are still good. Thank you.

Were they thawed when you realized you left them out?

Just a couple hours? Still in their packaging? I think they are ok.

I'm not entirely sure. It was probably at least 7 hours since I got them when the sun was up and then when I realized what I had done, the sun had already set.

You can refreeze once. And if it was just a couple of hours it's fine.

Yeah I would throw them out if I were you lots of bacteria could form on them in that amount of time!
