I have often read about ensuring frozen feeders should not be any older than 1 month old, even in a deep freeze and not the top section of a regular fridge freezer. Nutrient value goes down etc. How valid is this? A new pet store opened in our small town and for the first 6 months, we could get frozen feeders from him, we still can by pre-ordering. The store owner has very recently brought in live adult feeder mice which is great. My BP will now take either live or F/T with few refusals but he does prefer live. It is illegal to own live rats in Alberta and this makes frozen rats harder to find and more expensive.
I hate driving in the city of Edmonton. If this store goes under like the last one did, how long can frozen feeders last in an upright dedicated freezer? I want to reduce driving trips but I don't want to jeopardize Monty's health.
I used to breed mice but that was a B movie horror show. Have your only snake go on a hunger strike and you don't know anybody who needs feeders, live or frozen....
