Eatting half?

[Sonny1318]

Doesn't matter what bag it's in, and we're advising you to the contrary. Properly thawed frozen rodents do not fall apart this way...only when they're spoiled & gross.
Remember that the rodents you're thawing are whole animals...their guts (ie. GI tract) are FULL of bacteria, which are all too happy to proliferate the longer they're at
room temperature. Take a cue from human food safety rules: thaw meat in the refrigerator (the slower way) OR thaw in cold water (the fast way)...& like I said before,
that's for OUR food, & it's being cooked, which destroys bacteria...our snakes are eating it raw, & very few are carrion eaters. Your snake was sadly desperate enough
to try to eat anyway, & this could prove to be a health issue for your pet.

I have been defrosting rodents by leaving them out 8 hours easily for 35 years, never experienced that. But when I have been pressed for time I’ve used hot water methods and experienced that more then once. My other thought would be the rodent wasn’t good from the get go. Rodent Pro always had questionable quality back in the day not saying that was the brand, but I do believe they are also Artic mice brand.
