    How would one go about using dry ice to keep things frozen? Just thought this could be useful for transporting frozen feeders or stuff like that (I know quite a few of you are moving).

    Sorry dude I can't help although I've heard that dry ice is a good method for killing rats and mice.

    Well, when I had frozen mice shipped, they came with a block of dry ice. It was wrapped in some sort of plastic-lined brown paper. I'd never messed with the stuff before and thought it would be cool for the kids to see...so I put it in the freezer to show them when they got home from school. By the time they did, the whole block had evaporated. I guess the stuff they had it wrapped in kept it from evaporating, even though it wasn't being stored at cold temps during shipping. :shrug: Weird stuff, that dry ice!

    When I got my package from RodentPro, it came in a big box. The dry ice was not wrapped in anything. The mice were in a freezer bag, the blocks of dry ice were laying on top of the bag and the box was lined with insulation. The insulation was just your basic pink panther, line your walls type insulation. I hope that helps.
    Life is like a game of poker. You can play each hand to the best of your ability but you are still going to run into a bad beat from time to time. What matters is how you handle it. Do you go on tilt or can you maintain your composure & rebuild your stack?

    Just get ya cooler (Igloo etc) and you be set - avoid the styrofoam ones though as the dry ice can make it even more brittle than it already is. Works great for keeping that bottle of Cuervo Gold nice and icy.

    Ok...for you really brainy types out there... Why did the dry ice evaporate into nothing in my freezer...but it will keep in a standard cooler, or even a cardboard box (like what they ship in)???

    Ya know Judy, that makes no sense to me at all because we put the block of dry ice we had in our sink & ran hot water on it & it must have taken four or five hours to completely dissappear.

    And don't touch the dry ice with your bare hands! It's much colder than regular ice and can cause tissue damage.

    But you MUST bust off a little chunk and drop it into a glass of water. Very cool!
