packaging rodents

[rocko]

I was wondering, how do you guys package your frozen rodents?Do you vacuum seal them or just put them in a ziplock bag?

I'm new to this, so might not be a lot of help. I bought a package (25 jumbo mice) of frozen feeders from a local supplier last week and they had vacuum sealed them in a single container, so when I got home I separated the mice and vacuum sealed then in individual packages so they would keep longer without freezer burn.

Vacuum sealing them makes them last longer and stay fresher. A ziplock bag is alright if you euthanize your own and are only keeping them in the freezer a short time.

I get mine vacuum sealed and I place them in my own bags and reseal each time I get one out. Vacuum sealers are about $100, but certainly worth it if you have multiple snakes on FT.
