we have had a couple of mice over last couple of weeks. I am v uptight about them, saw maybe ten droppings in all, put traps down and caught two.

no other droppings seen at all. but, just been clearing out the freezer and found loads of bread crumbs as usual and seeds from bread - and some that look v like mouse droppings. OMG. is this possible? the freezer is only 4 years old, we never leave door open and all the stuff is well frozen- implying there is no way in or out for mice.

so is it possible there could be a mouse in there?? wouldnt it die in a few mins (its minus 24 degrees in theres). pls tell me its bread seed. isnt it?

Mice have been known to survive in freezers so it is not impossible.

I think it unlikely to be mouse droppings although we did get one in our fridge once as the seal was broken. A new fridge was purchased asap!!

how would a mouse have got into a freezer though? I doubt it is mouse droppings if its any piece of mind for you.
