    How Do You Package YOUR Rats?

    After I euthanize feeders, I stack them one on top of the other in a plastic bag. Then when they freeze and they come out and they are all bent and deformed and messed up. I sell frozen rodents and I'm pretty sure the people who buy them from me don't like how screwed up the rats are. I need a more effective way to package them. Any help?

    Thanks.

    Lay the rodents flat in the plastic bags and facing the same direction. Place them in the freezer that way (flat). They come out looking like they're spooning and all uniform. You can't fit as many in the bags that way but they look nicer. Use a flat piece of carboard if you have to.
