MY FROZEN RATS ARE NOT SO FROZEN

Hello,

I came home this Monday and found that my freezer was cracked. This is where I keep my FT rats and mice. I individually freeze them in a vacuum sealed bags. When I pulled several weaned rats out they were semi thawed. They were still cold but soft to the touch. The tails were limp. I will sometimes refreeze a totally thawed rat that was rejected by a snake and have never had any problems thawing it out several times and reusing the rat. Should I be concerned about these rats being sanitary for feeding? Thanks for anyone with a similar experience with this? Thanks for any help you can share.

Best regards,
Bill
