[QUOTE="Taeanna, post: 2542864, member: 52733"] The fear that a snake is coming to get them seems to be the primary concern for them? I'm going to go out on a limb and assume they have only ever seen snakes in media- a place that likes to use them as an 'unstoppable killer that wants me dead'. Perhaps try and locate videos of snakes being absolutely terrible at catching their fully stationary prey and missing like idiots, or staying curled up for a whole day because they are too 'lazy' to move might help shake the idea of them being a monster assassin of toes. Nothing budges fear quite like humor can. Edited additional note- Perhaps some of the squeamishness around a shared freezer could be negated if you had a dedicated freezer box that is brightly colored, marked and the rodents go inside this box INSIDE another container. That way any fear of anything touching or being seen is completely removed through several layers of protection- all of which can be washed separately (in the laundry sink even if the kitchen is off-limits).
