    Question How To Keep Feeder Mice if I Keep Kosher?

    I'm researching and adding up prices for getting a pet snake, but I have one major issue: I keep kosher, and if I put frozen feeder mice in the freezer, that would be unkosher.
    I've tried looking for mini-freezers online, but I only find mini-fridges with tiny freezers, and they're even then, they're out of my price range.
    How should I store frozen mice if I can't keep them in the house (they can be stored in the garage)?

    Just feed live or only buy a frozen the day you are going to feed

    PetSmart (here in Canada) only sells frozen mice, and they're not sold separately.

    I think I paid $200 for my mini freezer and it's well worth it.

    Was it a mini-fridge with a freezer or an actual mini-freezer?

    Have you tried Craigslist for a used one?

    Also, what makes it not kosher to put the rodents in the freezer?

    Re: How To Keep Feeder Mice if I Keep Kosher?

    I was looking for mini freezers as well recently but made room in my current freezer and abandoned the idea until I get a killer black Friday or similar sale. What I did find in my research is Home Depot has some decent units that are freezer only models under $200. Hope that helps.

    There are "chest freezers" on the smaller side that you can get cheaply too... They are not tiny though and you'd need to find a space to put them. You can often find used chest freezers on Craigslist or similar for cheap too.

    Get this freezer, only $134 brand new, this is the one I have for my rodents. Works great.
