I think I may have cooked it possibly. I usually warm up water in the microwave for a min and let the rat lay in the water for an hr. Then I run hot water for like a min over it to warm it up for my bp.
But it has never cooked a mouse b4 and thats how I do it everytime

If It was rotten do you think thats why My snake wasnt eating it?

Course the last time I buy from petsmart
Now I get em nice and plump at my exotic store and freeze em myself.

I just prefer feeding f/t. Live has too many risk factors.
