how would you suggest i freeze these live mice?
can i just put them in bag and throw in freezer?

No. Think about it; how would you like to be frozen alive?! "Whack" them by thowing them onto a hard surface, then freeze them.

Yeah, it is a grusome task--you can also hit them on the head with something heavy. Be sure you use enough force...you don't want to make a horrible mess, but you don't want to have to hit them more than once, either, it wouldn't be humane.

The easiest way to kill a bunch of them is to throw them in a container with a lid and fill it with some co2.They will have a quick easy death!!Here's an example of someone's rat killer!!!

Yeah, that's true--you can use dry ice to supply the CO2, too. It's practical if you're getting a LOT of mice, not so practical if you're talking about a dozen or so.
