Hey guys,

I'm about to order more f/t rodents for my growing collection and wanted to ask those that use a separate freezer a couple questions. We are considering getting one, just to save storage space in our "normal" freezer but the catch is that we currently live in an apartment and would have to put it in the animal room which would be on carpet. We are also planning on moving this year into a house. Something else I've considered is that the smaller units (2-5 cu. ft.) are crazy expensive for their size (usually $200 and up). I wouldn't even be considering buying one right now, except that we are planning on getting a boa and bigger snakes = bigger prey = less space for our food in the freezer... It also limits how many months supply I can order now.

My questions for you guys:

1. What size freezer do you use for your f/t and is it "sole purpose"?
2. Would it be better to wait and get a larger unit when we have a house? (I am planning on breeding my own rats down the line, but not on a large scale and plan to stay under 10 snakes)?
3. If you have a freezer and have it inside, do any of you keep it on carpet and were there any complications?

Thanks so much for your time and help!
