Hello,

I went to go and feed my snakes this week, opened my freezer (12cu ft), and it smelled "odd". Looking at dozens of bags, I can see that there are now pools of frozen blood in some bags, and a bunch of frozen mice/rats stuck together. They seem to be frozen at this point, but I have no idea how long they were defrosting for.

Have I lost the entire freezer? Or are these still ok to heat and feed to my boas?

Anyone have any tips to stop this from happening in the future? I would estimate there is at least $1000 worth of rats in there.
