the easy answer is that even if you use them in the 3 month time period, vaccum sealed is still better. The best thing to do is once you have received your rats to break down the bag of 50 into more managable bags of say 5 or 10 (whatever you can feed at one time). Once a vaccum'd bag is open as long as you re-vaccum seal them before they begin to defrost the freshness is kept. The reason that freezer burn happens is the air that is left in a bag, therefor no air, no freezer burn. I am facing a somewhat similar problem, I breed my own rats and have up until now been able to feed off the offspring at the same pace they were produced, now I have over 100 small/med rats in excess. If I can't find a pet store to buy them by monday next week I will be pre-killing them all and vaccum freezing them.
