How long do frozen mice stay fresh?

[FishFreak95]

the cost of feeding my snakes is trying expensive. I am considering buying in bulk to save money. How many years worth of mice could I keep in a deep freezer.

I wouldn't try to store more than a few months worth of food, if that, as there is some nutrient loss that occurs while the prey items are frozen.

as long as they are not thawed and refrozen, they will stay fresh essentially forever. I have fed rats that were three years old with no ill effects. I usually buy mine a year at a time though since my inventory always changes and I do not want to be stuck with 40 medium rats and nothing to feed it too or something like that. Just something to consider.

Thanks. I think I will just get a year's worth.

Get a food saver and vacuum pack them and they should last forever

 

[FishFreak95]

Thanks everyone. Ill vacuum pack them too.

If you vacuum pack them, break the vacuum seal before you start thawing them... not from personal experience, but I have heard horror stories.

Usually if frozen right after being euthanized, they stay fresh for years in my opinion. I've fed rodents that died from diseases in my breeder tank but no side effect with my snake. It's how comfortable you're I guess. cheers mate.
