I get my mice from a reptile store live and they are killed there. So fresh I guess.

You can prevent freezer burn by making sure that there is no air in the bag. They have little Ziploc bags where you can suck the air out of them.

I think it's fine, if it's defrosted. You would be wasting money if you kept throwing them out, anyways.

They should be fine, they will just be a bit more tender when thawed. Watch out for exploding stomachs when handling them, it doesn't take much when they get that way.
