Frozen Rats...

[Nate]

How long can you keep rats in the freezer before they go bad?

[Marla]

Unless they're not sealed well or your freezer's temperature fluctuates a lot, they'd be good for at least a couple of years, I'd think.

what about if they came out of a vacuum sealed package and had to be moved into a ziploc bag(i have an idea that is what u did nathan because that is what i have to do).

[Nate]

well i just went and bought 2 rats....both dead now after me being Hitler for 10 minutes....and they are in separate ziploc bags, which are inside another plastic bag. i squeezed the remaining air out and sealed it tight. so they should be fine for a few years

to the mods......make a new rank for those that you know use CO2...call them Nazi's. ( i do NOT in any way mean to offend anyone..especially if you're jewish)

wait so u put each rat in an individual ziploc bag? well i have like 23 in a ziploc bag with no air in em'. do u know how long those will last anyone(i was told about 3 months but some how i doubt it).

[Nate]

yeah i put each one in his own little coffin..........................i dunno why.... :roll:

it doesn't matter if they are in the same bag or separate. brian, your frozen rats should be fine for longer than 3 months. just keep them sealed up tight. i seriously doubt they will go bad before reeses can eat them all.

that is a serious releif and man i wish the freezer i keep my rodents in was big enough to do them seperately( i use a mini refrigerator freezer) then i could just take one out as i please.

[Nate]

oohh....the mini refrigerator at my work has a little freezer on the top....it isn't cold enough to freeze water...it's a piece of crap..u might wanna check the temps and make sure it is acctually a freezer...and not a really cold refrigerator.

[normballpython2]

oh yeah this baby freezes alot more than water we paid 900$ for this refrigerator/freezer





what is so ironic is that i can get a good pic of a freezer but not of reeses lol.
