ok..so my problem isn't that bad but still...I have to know..
My Yellow Rat snake is in blue...and I didn't know..so I thawed him some mice..2 small ones...and went to take him out, and woah..ok so he was in blue, and I tried to feed him anyway.
he didn't eat..and I can understand....but can I put the mice in the fridge, 'till ..like tomorrow, and try again..or next time should I get new mice..
................just wondering?
Thanks for any help guys...

Dude, relax, it's just mice, hehe.
If they weren't thawed for too long a while you can re-freeze them.
I suggest allowing him to shed, and the following day to make another attempt. I believe he will eat ravenously

It would be best to use new mice next time.

But, if the mice you already thawed have not been thawed out for more than an hour or so. You could probably refreeze them and use them again.

uh...they won't get all mushey and gross....?
I'll probably just throw them out...and try again after he sheds..
Thanks for all the help guys..lol..I know, sometimes I freak over nuthing..I just hate to waste a good mouse..

.It sucks..because when the babies didn't want to eat...Lester (Yellow rat)..got some jelly beans...or thats what the pinkies look like to me..lol but the babies are too small for the mice..

I usually throw mine, but you seemed kind of freaked out about the notion that you may need to throw them that I kept the option open

... generally speaking, it is possible to re-freeze if it wasn't thawed for too long

I agree.

I always throw my mice away, if no one will eat them.

I've refrozen before if they haven't been out long.
