Mini Freezer for rat storage?

Hey guys, I recently purchased a bulk amount of frozen rats and was keeping them in our cadaver freezer at my work (an animal hosp) but they need to be moved now. Any suggestions for a SMALL, cheap freezer? I see a ton of mini fridge's but I don't think they will be cold enough? There are some decent deals on ebay, but that's about it so far...everything else is pretty expensive. I'd love something like under $80....cheaper the better.

Any other suggestions are welcome too! Keeping them in my food fridge/freezer is not an option due to the other people in the house being repulsed by it lol

Thanks!

I've just got a nice cheap 5.0 cubic foot chest freezer from home depot. Currently have a little less then a thousand small/med rats in it along with several hundred mice. It's packed pretty tight but that's all I usually need (I have a second one of the same size in the garage but I've rarely had to use it and it's not even plugged in right now)

use this product: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Igloo-3.2-...eezer/15162473

The top is for my frozen mice for my corn snakes (I feed the BP live since I can't fit mice and rats in that freezer...it holds a lot...just not all of that) and the bottom for my cokes. It will be hard to find something under $80 unless you look on craigslist for a chest freezer. Sometimes you can find them for $50-$100 if you need something a little bigger.

I got this at the flea market for $125 new, works great, LOTS of freezer space and I thaw frozen in the bottom part.

Gets SUPER cold, also has adjustable temprature

I bought this one recently and like it a lot.

It was $219 in store, but they price matched to walmart at $169.
I see it's on sale now :)

I have a similar problem, not cost wise but size wise. I only have three snakes but keeping rats with my veggies is not appealing. I could use a freezer that is 2 Cu Ft just so it does not take up a lot of room and I can keep the rats separate. Looks like I'm just not gonna find what I would like. :(

I have three BPs and I use the freezer for the mice and rats and fridge for Mountain Dew and beer:banana:. I can't store a lot of BP food but I'd say probably a month or two worth.

Where I am we have a couple used appliance stores. They pick up non-working appliances, refurbish them and sell them pretty cheap. Freezers are kind of a hit or miss item though.

I found a mini chest freezer on Craigslist for $60. I think it's probably about 3-4 cubic feet, and it does great! It did take a couple weeks of looking before one popped up, they aren't as common as the freezer/fridge combo.

I had the exact same problem. Fridges in this building can't be over a certain size(5.0, I think...).
I'm using a Magic Chef(like the one southwind mentioned), but mine's a 3.5 cubic foot model. The freezer is in the top and has a separate temp control than the rest of the fridge, the freezer can hold quite a few boxes of large mice.

It works like a charm, unfortunately I can't recall the price, although it's probably a Wal-Mart buy.
