How long can I keep a frozen rat?

[Gerardo]

I recently had to cull a feeder rat that was getting too big for a snake that is on a hunger strike. Well now I have a frozen rat that I dont really intend you use anytime soon. I feed my snakes live but its nice to have that rat as a back up in case that i cant go to the store for a while (Chicago weather). I was thinking of buying just a few more but only as a backup. How long can I keep frozen feeders?

Don't have an answer, but I hope for a long time. I just bought 15 frozen for my bp.

If you vacuum seal them i believe up to a year easy. But no seal you have to watch for freezer burn

Most generally say 6 months. Vacuum sealed can last longer.

It's more or less the same as any other type of meat. So I would say from 6-12 months

We have had frozen rodents sit in freezer for 12 months and still looked healthy and were fed off no problem. I would say no longer than 12 months but have had some longer that were just fine. Vaccumm sealed can last 2-3 years according to big cheese.
