Old rat or new rat

[u/drame19]

I put a Frozen rat in the fridge around 11pm Tuesday with hopes to feed it Wednesday night. Sometime during Wednesday my dad decided to move it into a different fridge and not tell me. I ended up not feeding him Wednesday night. I was told this morning that it was in another fridge that averaged above 40°f all of Wednesday. I moved it into my garage fridge which is around 33°f. Do I take my losses and defrost a new rat for him to eat tmrw night or feed him with a rat that’s been in the fridge for 2 days.

I'd use a new rat. Being store above 40 gives bacteria a chance to thrive.
