So I defrosted my freezer and put Tig's rats in the back of the fridge 'cause it freezes anything you stick right at the back (I have it turned up high) so I thought they'd be OK for a little while. But when I've come to put them back in the freezer I've noticed that they've thawed ever so slightly. Their insides were still frozen, but I could move them slightly, if that makes sense? They're back in the freezer now, but do you think they'll still be OK, or should I just chuck 'em and get more?

OK, thanks peoples : )

He's now gone into blue again (seriously he's going to be twelvtie foot long at this rate!) so I'll have to wait to feed him anyway now!

The rats were rock solid again within twenty mins of being back in the freezer, so I was hoping that was a good thing.

Yes, they'll be fine. sounds like there were still a load of ice crystals present, which is the criteria for refreezing.

Once I got a delivery of frozen rodents and the carrier must have dropped the box or put something heavy on top of it (doubt if it was supplier's fauult; still use that firm and very pleased.)

When I opened the cardboard box, the polybox just fell apart and a good deal of my frozen rats and mice had started to soften. I put them in the freezer fast, and they've been fine.
