hello, quick question, my mother isn't all to keen about me keeping the mice in freezer with all of her food >.< she gets a tad funny that way,
so i was thinking if i kept my mice in a large platic tub, but filled the tub with ice blocks? would tht keep 2 mice in a good enough condition for my little girl? she is only on fluffs at the moment, so they are quite small

thanks for your help :)

I tend to buy mine as I need them at the moment, with freezer full of popsicles I have no space.
So if the snakes are due a feed on Wednesday, I go to the rep store on wednesday and buy them.

Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.

I don't think they would stay frozen solid with ice blocks, I think they're only meant for keeping things cool. Would she mind so much if you put them in a carrier bag then in a sandwich box tupaware sort of thing with a lid. Mine have the snakes names on too so nobody can accidently open them to see what's in!

Or if she is adamant it's a no, maybe you can look for a cheap 2nd hand fridge with an icebox maybe? Then you can keep your drinks cool too...

I picked one up for a tenner once for my room. Although that was quite some time ago now! lol

I had this issue with the mrs.
I keep the mice etc in a special box (old ice cream box) in the freezer with a picture of mice on all possible sides and reptile food written on it in big letters.She seems ok with this!
