About PLT Frozen Rats

PLT rats are farm-bred under ethical conditions and humanely euthanised before packaging. Each rat is sealed in clear, secure packaging so you can inspect the product easily. The Small/Medium 130g+ size is appropriate for sub-adult constrictors that have grown beyond pinkies and fuzzies but are not yet ready for large prey items.

Suitable For

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

Delivery and Packaging

Orders are dispatched in an insulated box with dry ice packs designed specifically for frozen food transit, keeping your rats frozen from despatch to doorstep. The CO2 released by the dry ice also helps keep the box free from pest insects during transit. During warmer months, additional dry ice packs are included to compensate for higher ambient temperatures.

Storage

Store in the freezer and keep the packaging sealed to prevent freezer burn. Only defrost what you intend to feed — do not refreeze once thawed. Proper storage maintains nutritional quality for your animal.

Feeding Guide

• 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 hygienic
• Do not refreeze thawed feeders

Whether you're stocking up with a 10 Pack or trying the 5 Pack for the first time, PLT's consistent sizing and ethical sourcing make them a reliable choice for keepers who take their animal's diet seriously.
