Is it safe

Just got 100 frozen pinkies. Is it ok to keep them in my freezer with all of my regular food?

If they are in a bag, yes. It's not like their guts will leak out onto your food.

I thought so. Thanks. The wife just started freaking out.

To be sure, though, I would wait for a few more replies. I don't have a snake yet, and definitely no mice in the freezer. I'm pretty sure they'll be fine. I think tey come in tightly wrapped packages, and they shouldn't have any diseases spreading to your food.

Yes it is safe You have nothing to worry about. Some will put them in brown paper bags to help those that don't like it feel better. It is just part of life at my house. I have a large chest freezer and the left side is mice and the right side is people food.

I got a small chest freezer in my garage that I keep mice on the left, human food on the right. I keep the mice in plastic bags

I would get those small ziplock vacuum bags and split them up into smaller lots, like 25 (because they thaw so quickly if you take the bag out to get out however many you need). Then put the bags in a tupperware in the freezer.

I was just looking in my freezer last night, with a tray of pretty white adult mize, vacuum packed, with a pound of bacon sitting on top of them, and thinking, many people would find this strange...

I'd put an alarm on the outlet so you know if you lose power. A couple here this year have lost whole freezers of mice.
