I had hundreds...adult balls...most would not eat frozen...
I didn't try....too timely....
live...20 years....1 baby hurt and killed...just 1...

trick...frozen...leave in fridge all night...thaws...then set into hot water in a bucket you do not use for anything else...
then?...dry with towel..(snake room towel)...then if it doesn't eat it...hair dryer...makes it hotter than the water...wiggle it in their face...pull it away...

DO NOT touch the ball.....and use long tongs or tweezers....they need to not know you are there...

or throw it in and wait...reheat after half hour, try again....

.....I never refroze anything
