Gus,
I noticed the bleeding in my frozen vacuum packed rats as well. Now that our production is up we are freezeing our own raised rats for our snakes.
I use a vacuum chamber to suffocate the rats/mice (place them in live and remove all the air). After this we freeze them on a tray, once frozen they are vacuum packed. It is a lot of work, but they hold up to freezing better and thaw without problems such as bleeding.
Just my experience,
Chris
