Re: storing feeders

the bag with the weened rats is actually sealed rather well, and feels pretty air tight.... and has no damage from the dry ice. Obviously I will be feeding the weened rats after the rat pups. Should I just keep the entire bag in the freezer? Or should I individually vacuum seal them as well?

I was under the impression that individually sealing them is better for storage. Is this even true?

BTW....rat pups are adorable. feels bad man.

I would keep the weaned rats in the freezer in vaccuum sealed bag they came in until you need to feed them. But that's just me.
