I, too, keep my mice in the freezer with the human food. Mine are in ziplock freezer bags, in tupperwares by size. The "pet section" includes mice, frozen bloodworms/brine shrimp for the fish and frozen meat kibble and ice cream treats for the dog.

This is what I do and it works great. You manually pump the air out of the bags and they can be reused.

Yeah that's turning into our house slowly. We have the turkey next to the bag of mice that Chet sold me... I'll have to remember not to ask anyone to get anything out of the freezer just in case.

Been doing it since mid 1970's, and I feel fine. Mice, anoles, etc.

My mother never gave a second thought to all the things I kept in her freezer...lol...including keeping live anoles brumating in the refrigerator (I was quite the experimenter), but my dad would stare at it all (and my two pairs of live mice) until he'd worked himself into quite a state.

My mice are in freezer bags inside white tupperware. Then that is shoved in the back of the freezer under human food. Most people that look in the freezer have no idea that there are dead mice hidden inside. I feel a little devious when I have my sister over and let her pick out her steak.

I have dead mice, dead rats, dead rabbits(both dressed and whole), dead deer, dead elk, dead moose, dead cow, dead pig and dead poultry in my freezer It's all the same in the end. Everything is labled, in Ziploc baggies. Most of my feeders are in a tub so it's easier to haul it out and then pick what gets thawed. When the big freezer gets filled up I do have a smaller apartment sized freezer I could use for snake food.
