Hi guys, sorry to keep goin on about mice, but I've had a fuzzie defrosting at room temp for about 5 hrs, I think it's ready but it pongs, is this normal or is it off? I don't make a habit of sniffing dead mice so I'm a bit unsure!! Sorry if this sounds a bit silly!

I don't think they shouldn't stink, no. I tend to find there's a very very slight smell to them, but nothing offensive

I think that pinkys smell a bit like raw mince but not quite as strong.
I personally don't defrost pinkys for that long, but I still have my own way of defrosting them sometimes that's quick and warms them up to the perfect temperature, depending on how squeamish you are you could try that.
