Ok so Monty hasnt eaten since 8th December, tried last week but his eye were blue and skin dull. wow he is about to shed i thought, ill wait till he finished shedding to feed him. but now 2 days his colour is normal, his eyes are fine and no shed ??? is this normal? can they decide not to shed once starting or something. help please, bit worried.

Also how long is it safe to keep a rat after it has been defrosted?

Hi, it's very normal - it puzzled me the first time I saw it in a corn lol, but their eyes clear and their skin looks about back to normal when they're on the point of shedding. He's about to shed any day now.

Umm, as to the rat, it's meat. And if it's been warmed up, it's got bacteria working in there. It's the same as any piece of meat you'd eat yourself. Plus it's still got all its guts and nasty bits. Better be safe than be sorry!
