The feeders are vacuum sealed and I usually break them down into smaller packages to reduce air exposure. I've never had any issues with freezer burn. This is my last feeder order from January and I still have plenty of food for my critters. I probably should have ordered more large rats because my carpets are growing fast but I'll just double up on the mediums if need be. The way I see it is $273 to feed 8 snakes for 6 months is less than $6 per month per critter. You can't beat that.
I hadn't thought about purchasing like this but that's a good idea, especially since I've got everyone on different sizes and in the process of moving to bigger sizes.
