Temperature for keeping frozen mice?

So I am trying to get a cheap fridge for frozen mice, and I found a very cheap one that fits my likings. But some reviews say it cools only slightly, to about ~54F, so I wanted to know the range for temperatures to keeping frozen mice. Thank you.

Does the fridge have a freezer in it as well? Those temps are not going to work for keeping rodents frozen.

Oh my bad, it's not a fridge I ment to say freezer. Yes, the freezer is the one with ~54F. And would you happen to know what temperature would be good to keep them frozen?

Is that supposed to mean negative 54 degrees?

54F is not cold enough. Frozen foods should be at 0 degrees or colder, ideally -10 to -20.

Thank you, I'll keep looking

There must be some confusion here. Freezing is 32F, so there is no way a freezer is 54F, or even anywhere close. 54F is too warm for a fridge to keep foods safely.

As MysticExotics said, you want the temps to be well below freezing to keep frozen foods (including snake food) properly.

40-140F is optimal bacteria growth temps according to the FDA. Your frozen mice are likely to rot VERY quickly at that temp.

Most refrigerators are kept at 34-36F and freezers need to be below 32F.

Yeah, 54 is warmer than I even like to brumate snakes. That's almost T shirt weather!
