PLT Rat Medium 160g+ 5 Pack | Snake Food UK

The PLT Frozen Rat Medium 160g+ 5 Pack is a reliable staple food source for sub-adult and adult boas, pythons, and birds of prey. PLT has supplied specialist reptile retailers for 30 years and remains the go-to choice for keepers who want ethically sourced, consistently sized frozen rodents. Each rat is farm-bred under ethical conditions and humanely euthanised before being packed into clear, secure plastic packaging.

Size and Species Suitability

At 160g+, these mediums are well suited to sub-adult boas and pythons, and are regularly used to feed adult animals of both species. They are also appropriate for birds of prey and some larger amphibians.

• Ball pythons
• Boas and pythons (sub-adult to adult)
• Birds of prey

Ethical Sourcing

PLT rats are farm-bred in controlled, ethical conditions. Every animal is humanely euthanised before packaging — this is not a compromise product. Keepers who care about welfare can feed with confidence.

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 keeps the delivery box free from pest insects during transit. During warmer months, additional dry ice is included to maintain frozen condition on arrival.

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 food promptly to prevent mould or bacterial growth in the enclosure
• Do not refreeze once thawed

Storage

Keep sealed in the freezer to avoid freezer burn and preserve nutritional quality. Only defrost the quantity you intend to use at each feeding.

PLT's consistent sizing and ethical production standards make this a straightforward choice for keepers who want a dependable frozen food supply they can order regularly without second-guessing quality.
