Were they completely thawed, or only the top ones. I think if you left the whole thing out and they weren't completely thawed, you could safely refreeze them. You might end up with a few that get freezer damaged, but most likely the one's on the bottom remained frozen.

The one's that were completely thawed I'd throw out. The rest should be fine.

It depends on how long they were out... if it was like days or something, then no. But like hana suggested, do a search on this forum (search function is on the menu at the top of this page underneath where it says "welcome stormi") and you'll find more info.

Think of it as you would your own food.

If a chicken breast fillet was out of the freezer for 2 hours and warmed to body temperature but not used, it would be a 'not so wise' idea to refreeze it and use it next week.

Also, take into account that a chicken breast fillet is just meat (perhaps skin too) which has (hopefully) been handled hygenicly before and during packaging for the consumer. A mouse pink was probably taken from the next and frozen without any measures for sanitisation at all so although a good number of the bacteria pressent would be killed by the freezing, it's still LOADED with nasties.

Make up your own mind what you do. I've been known to occasionally refreeze a pink but it's not a standard practice around here.

In the past (not any more) I have rethawed pinks, BUT it never works how u plan it to...when it was thawed, it was all mushy..like you could feel the mushy-ness through the belly, and when they snake struck it, the tummy eploded.

Havent done it since, and dont recomend it. Unless it was like a huge rat u just spent quite a bit of money on....then im sure you possibly could...

I think you're searching your own thread. You have to go to the top of the first page of the threads listing in the appropriate forum.
