Re: just a quick question?
I think this comment was correct, but you misunderstood what was being said, or the person who repeated it to you misunderstood.
When frozen mice are taken from the freezer, a black belly can indicate that they have thawed and decomposed. The milk in the belly of a pinkie can turn a dark color first, as the first sign that there has been thawing. Therefore, a frozen pinkie with a black belly can indicate a problem in storage and should not be fed. Just my .02!

Re: just a quick question?
Well, are you talking about mice or rat pinkies? Rat pinkies usually have black spots on them (I think, I've never bought one), and baby mice occasionally do, and I thought nothing of it.
