F/t mouse still good?

[blenderhead]

Would it be okay to feed my bp a f/t mouse that has been thawing at room temperature for 9 hours or should I toss it? I meant to feed it to him last night but fell asleep.

Personally I would trash it....but I live in AZ and stuff out that long is NO GOOD!!! If it is graying get rid of it.

I mean.....really how much money are you throwing away for piece of mind!

9 hours is a bit much. You really only need 4 hours max to thaw, depending on how you do it.
