Well, it's true. If possible it needs to be switched to f/t. Just keep trying them. Make sure they are completely thawed. If it's still somewhat cold the snake can tell. Try feeding it once a week the same day every week for five weeks. It will eventually eat. Yeah, sometimes they are stubborn, but once they go f/t you never let them go back. If you do then you have to go through the whole process. What I did when I had frozen thawed was lay them on the counter for about two hours and then lay them in a sunny window seal about an hour and a half to make sure they were completely thawed and body temperature was where it should be. That was for large rats though. Probably wouldn't take that long for pinkies or adult mice. With pinkies I just turned on the faucet and got the water hot enough to where I could hold my hand under the water and thawed them like that.
