Just wondering, how long frozen mice will keep good for. The more you buy the cheaper, but don't want them going bad

Cool that's not too bad. Still half a years worth of food for cheap chips :)

Most people say no more than 6 months if they have no hair and 6months-1 year if they have hair. It also depends on how they are packaged in the freezer. The less air that can get to the mice the better. Mine are vacuum packed so they should last over a year in theory

Buy mine every six months or so but see no reason why they wouldn't go for a year.
