    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

What do you do with your thawed rodents when they are not eaten? Do you chuck them or refreeze them? I ha e this problem every few feeds when 1 or more snakes will refuse a meal and I have noone left to feed it to. Sometimes this only gets doscovered in the morning as some of my snakes wont tong feed and I have to leave the mouse over the warm spot overnight. I probably chuck 20% of my feeders like this in a bad month.

If they have only been thawed out once it is ok to refreeze them. I would not recommend doin it a second time tho. Also if the rodent has been sitting out for a long time like overnight i would not freeze it again. You could always thaw out in smaller quantities so that way if a few dont eat not all your rodents are completely thawed out & you can refreeze the ones that are still a lil cool.
Good luck

This, and check all of your snakes after an hour rather than the next morning. By now you probably have a good idea of which ones are picky and which are not.

Feed the garbage disposals like boas last. If you don't have a boa then get one.
 
Good advice given, take out a few less than you need if possible, maybe stagger the feedings a day or two? I don't refreeze. I have boas, a corn snake and king snake that get anything that isn't taken (but if it was left overnight, then it gets tossed). I hate the waste but sometimes it happens however 20% is way more than I'd want to be throwing away.

Thanks for the advice. My work schedule is such that feeding once a week when I'm off is easiest but I think staggering days will be worth a try.
