    FROZEN RATS IN MY Fridge!!

    Ok, Terri, being in the reptile - animal show biz, keeps several large snakes in our house. Infact, one of them was in the show I helped her with last night. Anyway, I wake up this morning, and stumble to the fridge for my morning apples, and some Pineapple for breakfast. What do I find? A bag of "Jumbo" frozen rats thawing in the fridge. It was a horrifing site, there they were dead, frozen, and starrng at me as if they were last nights dinner wondering if it was time to be eaten yet. I of course, being this big powerful martial arts exponent of 14 years experiance, screammed like a little girl

    Terri, comes running to see whats wrong with me, and sees the fridge door open, nonsclontly moves the rats over, grabs an apple and askes "What wrong hun?", as she takes a big bite of the apple she just grabbed. All I could say was, "uhhh, I was going to get an apple and"

    She proceeds to cut me off and move the rats, grab an apple and toss it to me with this perplexed look on her face like I'm nutts or something, saying some thing like "what? is that all? there's apples under the rats", still not realising I was freaking about there being 12 dead, frozen "Jumbo" sized Rats thawing in my fridge (Yes, the bag says "12 Jumbo sized Rats" in big black letters on a white label).

    Seriously, who does that? I mean, it's the FRIDGE for God
    Sake!! I talked to her about it right after, and she's like "But they are in a plastic bag hun, what's the big deal, I'm not feeding them to you, am I?" My response was I mean, what else could I say? Where did she get them from, like that anyway? What store sells Jumbo sized frozen rats packed by the dozen anyway? It's completely weird!!!

    Any thoughts guys?

    You get them from pet stores and distributors. You can get blocks of pinkies, too. Snakes have to eat, too. Whats the big deal??

    Thumbs up

    I can only say that I have respect forherpetoculture but keeping fluffy rodents myself,I find the idea of feeding them (to- ) difficult.

    See, normally, she gets them live, and just drops them in the cages. I don't see them in the fridge, but I guess she got a good deal on frozen ones or something. The big show snakes get rabbits dropped live into thier cages. To me it's horrifing to watch, but Terri, and my daughter seem to think nothing of it whatsoever.

    I have on occasion opened the freazer to find frozen turtles or small lizards in there, becasue they died in the cages, and Terri stores them so she can have them autopsied, but I have never opened the fridge and seen a dozen overgrown rats sitting on top of my apple bowl before. I'm traumatised for life I tell Ya!!

    Nearly all of my siblings attended medical school or vetinary school in some form or another. Growing up, there might be rats, cats, or dogs in the freezer, sometimes in both freezers. I can relate to your plight. So, were they good?

    Well, I'm not sure. the hamburgers she grilled for me were good, and several of the rats are now missing. I'm sure that's not significant though

    I'd be more upset if there were unfrozen rats in my freezer. Repairs are expensive!

    Rodents like possum and rat are full of protein, and taste better than other things, like rabbit, IMO. Next time, don't complain, just eat up.
