mice freezer life?

[tstephe3]

so, i was wondering how long should you keep mice in the freezer before they start going bad? a friend of mine told me tonight that they go bad after a couple months or something.

They can get freezer burnt in a few short months if you do not vacuum seal them. Vacuuming sealing considerably extends their freezer shelf life (much like any type of meat product).

well i have been like squeezing all the air out.. but thats not vacuum sealing is it? haha

 

[tstephe3]

oh and freezer burnt? like is that really bad or can u still use them?

Now theres something you want to label really well, I can only imagine the mistakes made with months old frozen rodents

Hey there's no edit button.

I wanted to add most places these days sell freezer bags that you can get a small air pump for that will truly vaccuum seal them.

I've never had rodents in the freezer long enough to tell you one way or another...But I've read picky snakes will turn their noses at a freezer burnt meal. Would you eat freezer burnt food? :laugh:
