About PLT Frozen Rats

PLT rats are farm-bred under ethical conditions and euthanised humanely prior to packing. Each rat is sealed in clear, secure plastic packaging. Ex-Breeder rats at this weight are well-suited to feeding adult ball pythons, boa constrictors, and larger python species that require a substantial prey item.

Packaging and Delivery

Orders are dispatched with dry ice packs specifically designed for frozen food transit, keeping contents frozen from despatch to doorstep. The CO2 released by dry ice also helps keep the delivery box free from pest insects during transit. During warmer months, additional dry ice is included to maintain frozen temperatures throughout the journey.

Suitable For

• Adult boa constrictors
• Adult pythons, including ball pythons and larger python species
• Birds of prey

Feeding Guide

• Thaw thoroughly at room temperature before offering to your animal
• Do not use hot water or a microwave to defrost
• Remove any uneaten prey promptly to keep the enclosure hygienic
• Do not refreeze once thawed

Storage

Store in the freezer and keep sealed within the original packaging to prevent freezer burn. Only remove and defrost what you intend to feed in that session. Correct storage preserves nutritional quality and prevents deterioration.

For keepers running adult large-bodied snakes, having a reliable supply of correctly sized, ethically sourced frozen prey is straightforward with PLT — a supplier trusted by specialist reptile retailers across the UK.
