60 days is a bit too high. I have heard from some ppl 60 hours and some 5 weeks. What is the prefered time to freeze rodents b4 feeding to a animal.

JUst so i am on topic my snakes get wormed every 6 months or so.

I was told that it is possible that parasite eggs may survive freezing

Theres nothing wrong with feeding fresh rodents, stuffed if i'm freezing everything for 60 days, snakes are wild animals, they get it pretty good at my place, i'm sure they aren't going to care if their food isn't frozen for 2 months
