    Hiding frozen feeders?

    I just ordered a bunch of bulk frozen feeders from Perfect Prey (great quality btw, very impressed)... But my roommate is coming back next week from visiting his parents, and I just can't have 50 dead frozen rodents sitting in our freezer in plain sight. It's just plain rude!

    I was wondering how you "hide" your feeders from friends and family if you keep them in your kitchen freezer. I've looked into getting something like an airtight storage container, but the only ones I can find are all see-through. Any suggestions?

    I have personally never had to do this, but I'd suggest doing something like putting the container under things in the very back, or, if worst comes to worst, put the container in something entirely unappetizing, also in the back (that rejected food)
    I feel my advice was mostly pointless, though,.
    Though, as I just thought, maybe just tell him? If it's an option. So he doesn't get a shock when he opens the freezer.

    Mine came wrapped in a trash bag (layered between the dry ice bags and trays) and I just kept them in there as its very inconspicuous on the bottom shelf under some things.

    I actually got a small freezer just to keep rodents in, so that they aren't in the same area as the food at all.

    Brown paper bag. I did that for years until I got my own freezer.

    I put the Ziplock bags inside a RubberMade food keeper. Then I take a big Sharpie and write "DO NOT OPEN THIS" on the lid. If curiosity gets the best of someone, they can't say they weren't warned.

    I just saw somebody recommed a neoprene laptop zipper bag. I never thought about it before but it would be perfect. Nice and stretchy.

    I used to have a red plastic container, but it wasn't made for freezer use and shattered when I dropped something on it :/. Now they aren't hidden at all. . .but I'm single and rarely have visitors who open my deep freeze . If I do have a longer-term guest over I guess I'll need to get a big paper bag or appropriate the laptop case, lol.

    I just use one of those non-see through lunch boxes... a rubber band around it for good measure, and a label with "snake feeders"
