Then again, people (read Winters and I in our commentaries) have wondered why Yoshi became a rat in the FW series, when it shows he had recently contacted the Turtles pre-mutation. Maybe it's the rat hair on his robes...

ok lets say they touched the ooze right when they tried to keep the rat in their observation container(donnie's idea)...and lets say these guys happen to have 4 infant turtle pets at home... and lets say they got bit by their pets one after another by accidence in the following days after they touched the ooze....now, since the ooze had already been absorbed into their body before their pets bit them, the turtles didn't get mutated. on the other hand....these boys body now got both the ooze n the turtle DNA which gradually interacted with each other n mutated them into gaint turtles...

and u kno wut, they don't have to change all at once in one day. this process could be lasting for a couple of days. also, they don't have to be bit by their pets all at once in once day. this accidence could happen in separate days after they brought the rat back to donnie's lab...
