Hello there.

I was just wondering how long it is safe to keep mice and rats frozen before they go off?

Good question. I've heard various opinions on this but it should be fine for a few months if not longer. Of course if you buy your food from a shop you never actually know how long its been there so to put an actual time limit on it is difficult. I'm sure others will be along soon with their opinions

6 months should be fine, i think that's what's recommended for stuff like frozen poultry and game.....

I think I should dump the small mice that my Mexican Milk won't eat then. It'll be quite a while before the MBK will be ready for them
