I can understand your freezer problem, but there may be another option. Most of the local reptile shops I've been to that sell rodents will humanly kill the rodents for you. I did this for awhile and it worked out great.
It will be a little awkward asking my reptile shop that but I will. lol The only thing is I don't want to have to go back every single week. The only GOOD reptile shop is about 20-30 minutes away and I don't want to have to drive all that way for one rodent, when I can get 5 and last five weeks alive. This is complicated. hmmm I don't want the snake getting bitten but I know I will keep my eyes wide when feeding, but those rats can be quick when biting. =( I'll see what I can do.
