But thats what works for me.

I don't thinks it's a good idea to refreez rats
I'm sorry you dont buy into it... It's pretty common; snakes need an adjustment period which can include refusing meals. Handling stresses a snake that is in a new environment, and can also lead to refusing of meals. As always it depends on the snake.

Personally, I have offered food the day we got home and they have eaten, but I have also had snakes refuse a meal or 2.

I keep them in a rack, and I find it's easier for them to transition from a breeders rack to mine and that is a part of the success I have with feeding the same week I get them.
