Edible? Or not

[jennuhkins]

I had these mice frozen for a month and was wandering if they look edible for my snakes , they look kinda dark, maybe they were just bruised from killing it?

[jennuhkins]

They were saran wrapped and in a plastic bag in the freezer

It looks perfectly fine to me.

[jennuhkins]

Ok thank you I was afraid maybe freezer burned or something worse

[Little Wise Owl]

There's nothing unsafe about freezer burn. It just means it's dried out on the surface.

[stephanbakir]

those are totally fine, I feed freezer burnt rabbits all the time.

Well thats not quite true. Freezer burn also denatures the fats and breaks down vitamins. Its probably not a big deal either way, but over the long run Id not recommend feeding prey consistently freezer burned.

i rotate my frozen prey every 3 months...

imo they're still good after 4 months in the freezer though mate
