frozen question.......&quail and chicken

[z24wkit]

Why feed quail or chickens? is a snake that is less willing to take a rat more willing to take quail or chicken? are they more appealing tot he snake?

how long do fuzzies, mice and rats last frozen without going bad? or getting freezer burn? does it help to put them in ziploc baggies?
thanks

Quail and chicken are a bit more stimulating for the snake, IMO. They eat more than just rats and mice in the wild, I feel we should try to add a few extra items of appropriate prey. Also fowl have higher levels of fat and they make the skin look great.
Keep all frozen items in a ziploc bag to help preserve them. I wouldn't keep them longer than six months.
