Ewwwwww
I don't see how she couldn't tell it was "off" ?? I actually do defrost and warm my rats directly in water, and, there is a definite "Eau de Rat" to the water. Although I cannot be sure of the taste. Surely it wouldn't taste like spring water, though, LOL !!!
This reminds me of a trip I took with a friend some years ago. She decided to get a couple of snakes and was on the lookout for better enclosures. A breeder that lived about an hour away was selling some Vision enclosures, so we decided to make the trip.
What a trip it was...The breeder lived alone on some property. He was a bit of a odd one, for sure. He kept telling us about his great, big compost pile and how he was going to get electricity from it. How you could hide bodies in there...
Then he showed us his huge insect bins. Told us how the insects could strip bodies of other animals down to the bones in no time. Around this time I was starting to feel just a little creeped out. LOL.
FINALLY he got around getting the cages. He then took us to his house so my friend could fill out her check. It was a HOT day in the south and he offered us ice water while he was getting the cages. My poor friend was quite overheated and took a big drink. Before I could drink a odd smell hit my nose. Not strong, just..odd. I didn't drink.
I then noticed my friend spluttering and digging around in her mouth. She kept pulling out short white hair. I then looked closer into my glass and saw white fur floating around among the ice!
Right then the guy stepped back in. My poor friend had to finish the transaction and when we finally pulled out of his driveway and onto the road she swerved onto the side of the road and proceeded to get rid of the furry water she drank. She got back into the car and dug out another hair between her teeth.
I was both laughing hysterically (she was, too) and so disgusted I got goosebumps, LOL.
Ahh...the memories
