Now pinkies are a different story, and the pinkies I had left from about 6 months ago were starting to get ugly. We also have a newer freezer that's really good about holding the temps, and doesn't get opened a whole lot.
Ditto here... I get all my mice from rodent pro. They do not vacuum seal but even so they keep no problem in the freezer for 6 plus months. Even the pinks i don't worry about,..even though they may start looking ugly to us, the snakes still love em and thrive well on them!

My vacuum sealer said that meat that is sealed properly can be kept in the freezer for about 2 yrs. None of my vacuum packed mice have ever been in the house that long, to many hungry mouths to feed!!

I've got un-vacuum packed mice in my freezer that are almost a year old and look as fresh as the day I got em.

I use Rodent pro and would not go any other way! "....Unless i breed my own..." I went to a local reptile shop and thought the mice would be fresher since they where locally breed and vacuum packaged. Surprisingly I was wrong. Rodent Pro has clean mice that last long and look healthy. "As healthy as mice-sickles can look".

Forgot to tell everyone on this thread...the mice from mice direct came in looking beautiful! They were packaged great and they look so clean. The last ones we got from the pet store were anything but clean..they had food and mice terds in the bags with them! Not with mice direct! I am so happy..but now I have a freezer that has 1200 mice in it and still room for more...so I need more snakes to feed so I can get more mice to fill the freezer....okay so it is just an excuse...but hey it works!

I was rather disappointed with my online order. I got large PINKIES, small peach fuzzies, normal fuzzies, and fuzzies nearly as big as hoppers. Plus, a few have had open stomachs, and mouse intestines STINK. The ones at my pet store weren't as bad, but they had broken legs/tails and were too expensive. Not sure about the hopper mice, but I can see a little wood chip, and a few of them seem to have been injured BEFORE freezing. :\

Once I use up my frozen mice, it's hand raised for me. I hope you have better luck than me, though.

OH! And the zip lock hand vacuum pump works GREAT. I've only used it with hot dogs in the fridge (because I get 24 at a time), but so far it has worked better than any other bag.
