Jw but how long do rats last when kept in your freezer? the rats won't be vacuumed sealed. My BP is finally eating FT rats and he/she is taking weaned rats, however the smallest quantity to order from rodentpro.com is 20. Will the rats last for 4-5 , months in the freezer?

I've used frozen Rats that were over a year old with no problem. 4-5 months shouldn't cause any trouble.

Yup, not vacuum sealed. However they were at the bottom of a chest freezer so they were in more of a deep freeze then you would get in your typical freezer compartment in a refrigerator. Maybe that makes a difference. In any case, they looked fine, smelled fine when thawed and were eaten without hesitation.

How long would you leave a piece of meat in the freezer before you consider it "bad"? It takes a while, and usually it's freezer burn that ruins it, especially in a frost-free freezer.

I do not sell stuff this old.....but I end up being the one to get stuck using it........
