What do you do with your F/T leftover feeders?

[Craiga 01453]

If they end up in the freezer long enough to get freezer burnt, then I thaw them and toss them to the cats. If my little rodent freezer had more room I would save them for bait, either catfish or coyote/fox depending on the time of year. But I about half the freezer is taken up with deer meat and hot peppers. I'm hoping to have fixed the freezer burn problem by picking up a vacuum sealer. I spent about an hour the other day sealing up a little over 100 rodents.

I haven't gone with the vacuum sealer yet, but am considering it. I did just weigh, sort and bag 125 feeders in small quantities though. This way I'm only opening each bag a few times while the rest remain sealed up nice and tight until I need them.

As far as refusals, my Kingsnake, Django, is a beast and will eat any refusals from my BP. If for some reason he refused as well, I would just throw it in the yard, something would eat it. At least the prey didn't die for nothing, something will get a meal out of it.
