I appreciate the input everyone. I hope it wasn't my fault, I want to keep my babies. I will look into the necropsy when the vet opens tomorrow.

[QUOTE=Penultimate;2376899] Just curious, was the rat frozen thawed or live? It's possible that a thawed rat may not have been completely ready to be fed and could still have ice in it, but a ball python probably wouldn't eat in that case. /QUOTE]

Frozen\thawed. I thawed it for about 4-5 hours then put in in a ziplock and in a tupperware of warm water for about 30 mins.
