About PLT Frozen Rats

PLT rats are farm-bred under ethical conditions and euthanised humanely before packaging. Each rat is sealed in clear, secure plastic packaging, so you can inspect the food without opening the pack. These are the frozen feeders Viperia stocks with confidence — consistent in size, quality, and sourcing.

Suitable Species

The Large 250g+ size is appropriate for the following animals:

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

Packaging and Delivery

Orders arrive in an insulated box with dry ice packs, designed specifically for frozen food transit. The CO2 released by the dry ice serves a secondary function — keeping the box free from pest insects during delivery. In warmer months, additional dry ice is included to ensure the food remains frozen on arrival.

Feeding Guide

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

Storage

Keep frozen and only defrost what you intend to use immediately. Store sealed within the freezer to prevent freezer burn and preserve nutritional quality. Proper storage ensures your animal receives food in the best possible condition.

PLT frozen rats offer consistent sizing and reliable sourcing — exactly what keepers of large constrictors need to maintain a straightforward, dependable feeding routine.
