    Freezing rats

    Can you freeze rat pups together or would they stick together? Best to freeze them individually?

    I'm no expert on freezing rats, but when I get my shipments of frozen feeders in they are always frozen together (Sort of stacked, stomach to back).

    Their fur keeps them from really freezing together. They pry apart pretty easy.

    Re: Freezing rats

    Just make sure that when you go to seal them into a bag that they are not still warm . Condensation inside the bag can cause them to stick together somewhat if put into the freezer like that.
