If you keep them and refreeze them, I would defrost them quickly in warm/hot water instead of a slow thaw method.
Hey Laura!
Re-freezing does have a tendency to cause the skin membranes to thin out and become weak, but it's been my experience that quick defrosting/warming is a double whammy. It seems to compound it. I've had less problems by thawing at room temperature. And you're right, it can be quite a mess when it does.
Want to see a snake go full-force feeding frenzy? Let the skin of a rodent burst while the burm's eating it. Woohoo! When they get a taste of internals it's a sight you'll never forget.
Take care!
