Rodents shared bedroom and freezer (7)
I believe the answer is:
dormice
'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" .)
