dormice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'rodents' is the definition.
(dormouse is a kind of rodent)

'shared bedroom and freezer' is the wordplay.
'shared bedroom' becomes 'dorm' (I have seen 'Communal bedroom ' mean 'dorm' so perhaps 'bedroom' could also mean 'dorm'. I am not sure about the 'shared' bit.).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'freezer' becomes 'ice' (something which 'freezes').
'dorm'+'ice'='DORMICE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dormice that I've seen before include "Mammals" , "Little hibernating rodents" , "little things?" , "creatures" , "Furry animals" .)
