Hi, sorry if this is a really stupid question. Before I left my school apartment for break I put a rat in the fridge for my BP. I only realized a few days ago that this might have been a really dumb idea and potentially a huge waste of a rat. I'm new to snake ownership, so I'm not sure how long rats (small) can last in the refrigerator. It's at its coldest setting and on the top shelf, if that makes any difference.
I don't want to feed him anything that could be harboring harmful bacteria from being in a non-frozen state for longer than 48 hours (especially if said bacteria can really blossom during digestion). I know chicken typically lasts 4-5 days, but obviously rats are not chicken.
Should I throw it out and defrost a fresh one when I get home just to be safe?
Edit: Want to make clear that I've had someone check on his temps/humidity/water/hygeine throughout the week :)
Second edit: The longer I think about it, the more I'm convincing myself to just trash it and remember this experience for next time. Wish I had thought that through
