Can I re-freeze a thawed mouse?

[RoyalRose]

My family raises and butchers all kinds of animals and I've seen carcasses in all kinds of different situations; I don't take any chances with meat because I've seen what bad meat can do to both human and animal. I personally would never refreeze any kind of meat. But that's just me.

I've done it many times myself, just be sure you keep track of time and look/smell the food item.

My boy has only refused twice. The first time, he struck the rat pup, started in on it and then abruptly spit it out. I tossed that one. Hubby offered him a different one the very next night and ZAP! He swallowed that one with his usual alacrity. The next one he refused I'd thawed in a container that smelled of chili spices. I didn't even think about it. Skull looked at it, sniffed and then hid from the thing. I tossed that one too. I now have a pyrex bowl that is just for thawing prey.

Right now, if he refuses, I figure there's something wrong with the prey so I will toss it and offer a different one the next night.

He's only 9 months old and he eats like a champ. I suspect that might change when he's a fully matured adult. Next winter might get interesting.

I have a picky eater that refuses some times, for me it's not a big deal cause I just feed it to another snake that never turns down food. When picky does eat, I defrost another. So the point is, you need another snake!
