i dont know about the difference with or without the blood, but i do know that frozen rats begin to loose their nutrients after 4 months of freezing if not vaccume sealed. i would assume with 25 rats and not using them every feeding you will run way past the 4 month mark. just thought his info might help.


>>I went to a show this past weekend and purchased a 25 count bag of small rats, but they had all been bled out. The seller said that the guy who raises the rats sells the blood to Colleges and Universities.
>>
>>I know that some kind of nutritional value is now lost due to the rats not containing any blood, but are they still alright to keep feeding to my snakes week after week or should I use a whole frozen rat every few weeks?
>>
>>Thanks
