About PLT Frozen Rats

PLT are one of the most trusted names in frozen reptile feeders in the UK. Their rats are farm-bred under ethical conditions and euthanised humanely before packing. Each rat is sealed in clear, secure plastic packaging, so you can inspect the feeder before use without compromising hygiene or freshness.

Which Animals Are These Suitable For?

• Sub-adult ball pythons
• Sub-adult boas and pythons
• Birds of prey
• Some larger amphibians

Delivery and Packaging

Frozen rats are shipped in insulated boxes with dry ice packs designed specifically for frozen food transit. The CO2 released by the dry ice also helps keep the box free from pest insects during delivery. In warmer months, additional dry ice is included to ensure the feeders arrive fully frozen regardless of conditions.

Feeding Guidance

• 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 keep the enclosure clean and prevent decay
• Do not refreeze once thawed

Storage

Store in the freezer and keep sealed within the original packaging to prevent freezer burn. Only defrost what you need for each feeding session. Proper storage maintains nutritional quality and ensures every feed is as good as the first.

Choose your pack size from the options above to suit your setup. Whether you're feeding one snake or several, having a reliable stock of quality frozen feeders on hand makes husbandry straightforward and consistent.
