What you have is freezer burn. Either they were not packaged well or they have been in the freezer to long.

If its not to bad, yes you can feed them. But if the freezer burn is bad, it has lost nutrients.

If i have mice that are over 3 months frozen i toss them. Vacuum sealed rodents last up to 6 months. Give or take a few months
