Freezer is the best place to put it.
I always have some in the freezer.
When i buy some mice they go in the freezer and the ones i bought the previous time come out to defrost.
It makes sure that i always have some near feeding times, just in case.

Mine are in plastic or paper bags in a tupperware container, although I don't have to worry about my mum checking, benefits of moving out .

For now I wouldn't lie to her, tell her and just put them in a separate box in the corner of the freezer or something, otherwise if you do put them in and she sketches out then you might be without food for your snakeys!

How close is your pet shop? if it's close then just buy your mice as you need them and let them defrost. No need to store them anywhere then.

I only buy 2 weeks at a time (currently 4 small mice, 12 large mice and 2 jumbo rats) leave out what i need to feed that evening and stick the rest inside bags in an old icecream container in the freezer. I guess that only works if you have a supplyer super local though.

I buy in 10's. I have a freezer in the garage and the bottom drawer donated to my moss and rodents. I only keep them in a plastic bag. Its just meat at the end of the day.

I'm the same Matty18714.
My missus says she doesn't like the thought of dead animals in the freezer. But, like someone has said before, what about chicken? Lamb? beef? etc.

I keep my moss in the freezer as well, in little bags. Someone saw it last week and thought it was 'green'. Whatever that is....

i've got a small freezer dedicated to 'snake food' as the OH got sick of seeing them when he went looking for chips and stuff.
keeping them in the fridge for a few days would probably be ok but freezer would be best.
