I've never tried to indefinately keep frozen pinkies, but just wondered how long it would take before they were not in the right condition to be used as food?

I know freezing slows down the process of bacteria doing their thang! but it doesn't stop it entirely as far as I believe?, just... i see people selling 1000 pinkies for decent prices but wonder if i would be able to get through them all (not me personally) before they become unusable as food...

just something I was wondering...

they start to lose vitamin content from the moment they are frozen and if i remember correctly 6 months is the time when they've lost as much as they will. they will still be edible but not as nutritious. there was a post on this before if u do a search.

I say 3 months. Food for human consumption normally states on the packet that you can keep frozen for 3 months. So thats a good indication

Computer says no

but how does one know how long that rodent has been frozen when purchased?

I have thought about this too... i just try and not buy too many at once..and to always use oldest first... but its flawed thats for sure.
Maybe a frozen on date should be implemented somemhow?
