My biggest Rookie Mistake: I thawed over 120 rats (all albino) at the same time and of the 120+, only 13 were consumed.
At the time I was living at home so I put the extra 100 white rats in my families refrigerator. It was my sisters birthday the following day so I left a note on the big pile of plastic wrapped dead rats 'Happy Birthday'-I knew it would totally gross her out. What I didn't know that my sisters fiancées parents were visiting later that day, and all they saw was a big white object in the fridge with a note and immediately thought I had gotten her a decorated cake. When they took it out of the refrigerator to take a look they saw the red eyes and when they realized what it was-dropped it on the floor in shock and dead rats and coagulated blood scattered everywhere.
All I heard were grown adults screaming in terror.
Anyhow, I don't thaw out as many rodents now at once. (I prefer live)
