Air fryers aren't microwaves heating things in weird ways. It's just an oven that gets hot faster and blows air around a lot. Why would a mouse explode?

Also, I'm assuming mouse because how could a rat get in an air fryer without you noticing? Hell I'm not-sure how a mouse could but a rat seems far fetched.

Yeah, lots of unanswered questions here.

I have two air fryers, a smallish one with a slide out tray, and a largish one that looks more like a toaster oven (glass door that opens downward). The first absolutely isn't big enough for a rat to fit, and the second could maybe fit one, but it's nowhere near big enough to not notice.

I could see a mouse though, especially smaller field mice. I don't think it would "explode," but I could see blood from it trying to escape frantically.

I didn't know there was a difference between mice and rats but after looking it up (read: asking ChatGPT), yes it was a small mouse. Also I forgot the air fryer half open at night.

idk man maybe the air inside the mouse expanded until it exploded or something? I can't really give you a definitive answer since I didn't dissect the little guy. All I know is that I heard something pop, and when I looked inside my air fryer there was a twitching dead mouse with a splash of blood coming out of its mouth.

Oh I missed you had screen shotted your own comment. Not sure why someone downvoted you.

Rats are huge compared to mice, I had assumed you meant a mouse.

Also I wouldn't really consider a mouse bleeding out it's mouth "exploding". I had assumed pieces were splattered around. Just a difference in interpreting words.
