    Re: Method for Storing Pinkies?

    I have a "food saver" vacuum storage system. Best investment I ever made. With no air in the bag, you can freeze for years and they will not freezer burn and stay fresh as the day you froze it.

    FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer - Official Manufacturer's Web Site - CLICK for Free Shipping Offer.

    When I was able to buy mice in bulk, I'd vacuum seal portions that were enough to feed all my snakes without having to open the entire stock allowing air and freezer burn occur.

    Great for humans too, of course. I can now buy mass quantities of meat on sale, portion them up and vacuum seal it. I never have to worry about pulling out a roast or steak that is a year or two old. It will still be fresh and free of freezer burn.

    By far, the best method is vacuum sealing and storing at around 0 degrees F.

    Other than that, freezing silversides in water does help keep the air from getting to them and keeps freezer burn away. Not sure how that would work with pinkies.

    I already keep silversides in water and it works really, really well - maybe I'll try a few pinkies submerged in water and see how they turn out, then pick up a vacuum-machine sometime in the next few months in preparation for taking off from work for deer season. (I love multi-purpose tools.)
