PLT Frozen Rats X-Large 300g+

Frozen rats are a dietary staple for large constrictors, birds of prey, and certain amphibians. The PLT Frozen Rat X-Large 300g+ 5 Pack contains individually packaged rats at a size suited to adult boas and pythons. PLT are ethically focused producers, farm-breeding their rats in controlled conditions and euthanising humanely before sealing in clear, secure plastic packaging.

Why PLT

PLT have supplied reptile keepers and specialist reptile stores in the UK for 30 years. Their rats are farm-bred under ethical conditions and euthanised humanely — two non-negotiables for responsible reptile keeping. Each rat is individually sealed to maintain quality and hygiene.

Which Animals Are These Suited To

At 300g+, the X-Large is appropriate for larger reptiles that require a substantial prey item. Recommended for:

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

Delivery and Packaging

Orders are dispatched in insulated boxes with dry ice packs specifically designed for frozen food transit, keeping contents solidly frozen on arrival. The CO2 released by the dry ice also acts as a secondary barrier against pest insects during delivery. During warmer months, additional dry ice packs are included to account for higher ambient temperatures.

Feeding Guide

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

Storage

Store in the freezer and keep the packaging sealed to prevent freezer burn. Only defrost what you intend to use in a single feeding session. Proper frozen food storage helps preserve nutritional integrity for your reptile.

PLT's reputation among UK reptile keepers is long-established. Whether you are maintaining a single adult boa or managing a collection, this 5 pack gives you a reliable, ethically sourced supply of quality frozen prey.
