There's a bit of a difference between industry and home. I don't know anybody that wears a hair net and PPE while preparing their dinner.Quote Originally Posted by gsarchie

I've worked in the food industry for a over 10 years. When dealing with frozen food, it IS rule number one
For the original question, if the rats had only partially thawed in the purse, I would've put them straight in the freezer. The general rule in the forums I've seen is that you can usually refreeze ONCE if the rat didn't get warm. If it was actually room temp, I'd only fridge it for a day or two. If they were still frozen in the middle, maybe 3-4 days. If it smells at all funky when you warm it up though, toss it.
