Thanks for the feeding answers below. I don't want to continue buying mice from chain stores. I would like to get a better price but the sites I've seen you have to buy 100 at a time. I only have one corn (hope to get another) How long can they stay in the freezer and still be good enough to feed? I thought they shouldn't be there longer than 6 mo??? Or does anyone know a site to buy 30 at a time?
Thanks in advance!

You don't happen to have a vacuum sealer do you? That's what I use and the mice stay VERY fresh that way.
Otherwise, just wrap up the mice as best as you can. Before I got the vacuum sealer I would wrap about 5 mice in saran wrap, then in foil, then put the package in a ziplock bag, as free from air as I could. I've kept mice frozen without them getting freezer burn for over a year using that method. I wouldn't keep them past a year though, without vacuum sealing them.

Fuzzy Foods... before I got a lot of snakes I got rodents from them. They vacuum pack them and the prices are good. I think their web site is just fuzzyfoods.com...otherwise try a search at yahoo.
