But to answer your question, yes you can refreeze. Some BP's will only take f/t that has been re-f/t. The cellular structure breaks down after a refreeze and it has a stronger odor.

BP's are not above scavenging in the wild and will eat a carcass if it is not too decayed. We had trouble with our first feed but leaving it in there and not even peeking in for a while seemed to do the trick. If it still isn't eating in another week, there's lots of little tricks you can try.

We never move our snake for feeding. She gets too wigged out. We just put down a paper towel over the substrate in her enclosure and zombie dance the f/t all around it and she comes right out.

Keep us posted.
I have refrozen a few times, but only once. I know where the rodent is in the bag and its always the next one that gets eaten.

The 24 hr. part may work, I've tried that before and just woke up to a stinky mouse and the snake in it's hide haha. Maybe try that if the snake has never eaten before or if the problem persists, just my opinion. Not sure about eating things that are already dead but haven't decomposed too much, haven't heard that before. Where did you read that? Just interested in knowing.

Thanks
