I just bought 10 ratsicles from my local pet store as feeders, and when I thawed the first one for my ball python tonight it smelled so bad I thought I'd left it out too long. So I threw it away and grabbed another - but this one stinks to high heaven as well! Are these rats ok to feed my snakes? I've never smelled anything like this from frozen feeders! Waaay more than the usual vermin "aroma."
