Pack them in a styrofoam box with a chunck of dry ice. Be sure to leave a small escape hole for the CO2 that will be the result of the dry ice melting, elsewise you may have a slight explosion.

also it is advised to

wrap the dry ice in newspaper or something. I can't believe the price of dry ice these days. I use to work with dry ice in the frozen food business and we always extended it time wise with wrapping. It also is used to take out small pings in vehicles on the bodies. The last time I bought frozen mice was last year in Alpine Texas and it lasted for about 32 hours wrapped up. You can find it at Dairy Queens and most Wal-Marts super centers if there is no local dry ice or ice company around. Maybe even a White Castle hamburger joint since they ship their hamburgers by dry ice around the world. LOL !

Just be aware that some (all?) shippers consider it a declarable item, (Don't know if it is considered haz mat), but you have to list it and how many pounds is in the box.
