| Probably as everyone suggests, defrosted mice that have been clouted in transit. I have bought once on the internet but quickly reverted back to going in so I can see what I buy. |

| If it is a case of they were thawed, did you pay over the odds for postage or any kind of next day before 12 one? I know they always day the cant promise to be frozen upon delivery, normally chilled and more or else frozen is fine but your mice sound like a right mess! |

| Is it just a bit of blood around the nose, sometimes the medium mice I give my Boa get nose bleeds when they are defrosted. Its possibly that they have defrosted, ice crystals burst blood vessels and then when the blood defosts it bleeds out, its usually not a right lot but from defrosted to eaten in my house is about 10 minutes, they may have been defrosted for some time. |

They were still frozen when they came because I checked to make sure.
It's not on all of them only on a few and it's not like there is any brains hanging out or anything. Lol.
As for posting a photo me and technology don't get on,it takes me enough time to do these on my i pod!
I think to be on the safe side I will go back to buying from the shop at least then I can see what I'm buying. |
