Longevity of frozen mice/rats

[lazyjr52]

Does anyone know what the shelf life of frozen mice/ rats are?

It really depends on how they're stored. If stored in air tight freezer bags with the air removed from them, the USDA has confirmed them to survive 1 year before nutrients start breaking down. I store mine in freezer paper (to keep their claws from piercing the plastic bags), then put the wrapped rats in a Handi-Vac storage bag, then suck the air out with the Handi-Vac pump. Absolutely eliminates freezer burn.

Cool! Thanks for the info. I was asking because I wanted to place an order but both my gu's are pretty down for the count. Thanks again.
