About PLT Frozen Rats

PLT has been a trusted name in the UK reptile trade for 30 years, and their frozen rats are produced under ethical farming conditions from start to finish. Each rat is humanely euthanised before being packed into clear, secure plastic packaging, so you can see exactly what you are getting. This is the size used by experienced keepers to maintain adult boas and pythons in good body condition.

Suitable Animals

• Adult ball pythons
• Adult pythons and boas
• Birds of prey

Packaging and Transit

Orders are dispatched in insulated boxes with dry ice packs specifically designed for frozen food transport. The CO2 released by the dry ice also helps keep the contents free from pest insects during delivery. In warmer months, additional dry ice packs are included to maintain frozen temperatures throughout the journey.

Feeding Guide

• Thaw thoroughly at room temperature before offering to your animal
• Never use a microwave or hot water to defrost
• Remove any uneaten food promptly to maintain enclosure hygiene
• Do not refreeze once thawed

Storage

Store in the freezer immediately upon arrival. Keep the packaging sealed to prevent freezer burn, which can degrade nutritional quality over time. Only defrost what you need for each feeding session.

Sourcing frozen feeders from a reputable, ethically managed producer like PLT gives keepers confidence that their animals are receiving a consistent, nutritious food source with no corners cut on animal welfare.
