Do mice sometimes "pop" while being eaten?

I'm not too concerned here, but feel the need to ask ;) Fed my snow, Nessie, tonight a fuzzy and when I uncovered her feeding bin there were decent size blood spots on the paper towel, a few spots of blood on the walls and a big droplet on her back. Her fuzzy was down the hatch and she was 100% normal, albeit quite PO'd I gently wiped her back with a paper towel. She's usually a "sniffer, then proceed to eat" kind of girl. Could the mouse have had a "blow out" out the end that was out of her mouth while swallowing? I guess she could have constricted it, which could cause the blood to "blow out" but I doubt her constricting only because she really doesn't. Oh, and yes, I feed F/T... just looking for my mind to be put at ease here :uhoh:
 
Yes, this has happened to me once before as well. In my case, I overheated the mouse a little bit and it kinda popped as my snake was eating it.
 
Oh yes, I had this happen with my first corn, as well as a batch of fuzzies I recently got for Kiyo...picked up some at the show today, hopefully that doesn't happen again...so gross >.<
 
edit: I think in Rune's case (first snake) he constricted the bajebus out of the mouse, 2nd time with Kiyo must've been "overcooked".
 
One time, I had ordered super extra jumbo mega retired breeder mice, and when one of my guys struck and coiled, they squeezed too hard, and a couple of pinkies wound up popping out. :puke01: You want to talk about disgusting...
 
My Indogi snake regularly explodes his meals. I don't think they're overcooked as his mice are thawed in the same bowl as everyone else's. I just think he's crazy. LoL.
 
Oh, yes... sometimes an eye will "pop" out... sometimes guts will pour out of a previous bite... yeah... blood e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e. LOL.
