I just picked up more ASFs tonight. I got 30 for $20. I still had 20-something from last time. I'm not worried about them going bad anytime soon. I've got them all sized and dated so I can do first in first out.
I had them in plain freezer bags with the first bag but there were some ice crystals along the inside of the bag, the rats didn't look or feel freezer burned, so I grouped those up into smaller ziplocks and put those in the freezer bags.
I haven't been doing whole prey as often lately, I've been doing other foods for the tegus. So I'm using like 6-10 a week depending on the size. I have no issues scooping up more before I run out. The dry ice is only like a buck and I've got a spare freezer in the garage so theres plenty of room. I thought about breeding a couple pairs but I'm not sure the landlord would be down.
How long do frozen things like this usually stay good? Any tips to keep them more fresh longer? I've read about people using seran wrap then bagging them but that seems really time consuming.
