Vacuum sealed, years. Otherwise, freezer burn is the enemy. I have one picky BP that can smell freezer burn an won't eat no matter how hungry. The others don't care.

Okay thank u! If they arent vacuum sealed, how long will it take for them to go bad?

Depends on the size of the feeder and how tightly packed they are in the bag. If they have a decent amount of fur I've pulled them out of the freezer after 8 months and they are fine. On pinkies & fuzzies with very little fur I've seen freezer burn in a few months.

First, if your buying in bulk or gassing your own break them down an vacuum seal them. The sealers are cheap for good reconditioned ones.
As for how long before freezer burn. Depends on your freezer, packing an the like. If you wet thaw a freezer burnt rodent the smell is lessened. Like taking a badly freezer burnt steak an soaking it in water to thaw. Then cooking on a grill. It won't be the best but it will be eatable.
