It's freezer burn. Happens to stuff that you keep frozen (and not vacuum packed) for a longish time. AFAIK, it's not dangerous, rather more like a slow version of "freeze dried". (It's pretty unappetizing, though!) Pinks, whether rats or mice, get it - and really show it. My guess is that older frozen rodents get it too, but you can't see it through the hair.
Another way to avoid it would be to freeze items in water, resulting in a block of ice with a pinky in the middle - which doesn't really help when you get 'em already frozen and packaged up.
Just my $.02 - I've been known to be wrong about stuff . . .
