You are good ... They smell just fine to your Tegu.. If your Tegu dosn`t seem interested cut them open . They arn`t supposed to smell rotten ..

I buy frozen mice in bulk and have never noticed any "funny" nor "wet dog" smell. Though I use hairless mice which may be a critical difference.

Any odor would cause some concern, but provided the thawed item did not smell rotten in any way, I would likely still use it.
