Hey, I was wondering where people store there snakes food, whether you freeze it in the freezer in secure containers or whether you have a completely different freezer?

Me and Hannah have a one of those half freezers in our bedroom just out of respect for the house mates, I worry in their drunken state that they may think they were choc ices or something... but we keep the food in their vacuum packed bags alongside our own stuff.

I keep all my mice in the bottom drawer of my freezer which is usually kept just for mice (unless i go abit crazy when i go shopping). I'm a bit sad in that I double check the weights of all my mice and bag them up according to weight then put them in plastic tubs depending on which snake/snakes they are for.

we have a dedicated 'snake food' freezer then when we get our orders in a re-grade them by weight and bag them up in plastic sandwich bags and label the weight range on it

occasionally the frozen rabbits do spill over into our regular freezer

hmmm, I have been hoping to get my parents to allow me to use the freezer, buying a freezer just for a bit of food seems silly.

I keep mine in the bag they come in anywhere i can find room in the freezer. Im the only adult in the house at present and the only one who cooks, so no-one risks pulling them out and being grossed out. Although my little ones do occassionally go for a wee look to see how cute the new batch are! Im moving in with my somewhat OCD boyfriend in a few weeks and Ive felt subtle vibes of the "i hope those mice will be kept seperate" variety! I mentioned bulk buying mice when we have more snakeys and he was somewhat unimpressed with that idea!
