Inbreeding in feeder rodents

Since breeders generally last for about a year or so before needing retirement I’m not sure how many years/generations down the line it would be before you’d “need” to splash some new blood in because the very basics still hold true genetically

But I’m guessing it’s quite awhile. Many of the “pet quality” breeders I follow have been going for years and have no signs of issues that I can tell
