    ? about F/T

    I was just wondering if you thaw and the snake rejects can you refreeze?... and if so how many times can this be done?

    Hi, I also feed f/t but if my snake refuses to eat it - I throw it out since you are not supposed to re-offer food until the next feeding which is a week away and I wouldn't recommend re-freezing them.

    Just my 2 cents.

    You could get away with refreezing it once but I wouldn't do it more than that.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with re-freezing once...just keep in mind that each time you freeze it, you increase your chances of having it "pop" after it's been thawed out. And that, my friend, is a disgusting event!

    Just remember, I think when they start to thaw they begin to decompose and spoil. The longer it's been thawed, the less and less I'd want to refreeze it.
