You have to be careful since a lot of these chain pet stores do not store the frozen mice properly. If they are left out to long and defrost and freeze again then they will explode like you said and it will cause a nasty mess. A red flag is if you see blood around the head and nose or a bad smell after defrosting. I seem to have better luck at Petsmart then Petco.
