Should I feed or toss this frozen rat?

[Eazyyyb]

hey guys so I got some frozen rats and thawed them overnight in the fridge. Then I took them out, fed 2 of the 3 and threw the last one back in the fridge so I could go to work. When I get off at 4am would it be okay to use that rat or should I toss it? Thanks in advance

I would think you can use it but not refreeze it if its refused.

If you put it back in the fridge, not the freezer, after a full thaw, the bacterias on that bad boy would still be multiplying. If you said you threw it back in the freezer, I would use it once more if I were in your shoes but since its only cooling in the fridge, Id fling it. Just my thoughts.

i have this same problem , i ordered a 20 of frozen small rats on Tuesday, were to be on Thursday late afternoon, but FedEx brought it on Thursday morning and the driver He began decisions lest they leave orders at the door, I got them on Friday, the rats were to temperature of 64 degrees, it should freeze and give to sender or freeze and give to eat a snake? hepl

No way would I be feeding a snake an animal that had been sitting at 60 something temps, especially not for more than a day. That's an animal that's had plenty of time to start to decay.

In the fridge all day? I might, depending on how it looked, felt, and smelled. Outside and reaching temps of mid-60s?
NO.

I'd use it.
