Our rats are frozen quickly after processing and shipped in insulated packaging with ice packs, so they arrive solidly frozen anywhere in South Africa.
Choosing a size
- Pinkie — newborn rats, for hatchling and small snakes
- Fuzzies — juveniles with light fur
- Pups — young, growing rats
- Weaner — sub-adults, for medium-sized snakes
- Small – Medium — for growing pythons and boas
- Large – X Large – XX Large — for larger pythons and boas
- Jumbo — our largest rats, for big adult pythons and boas
Feed prey roughly as wide as the thickest part of your snake’s body. If you’re between sizes, size down and feed a little more often.
Feeding and storage
Store at -18°C and use within 6 months of purchase. Thaw fully in the fridge overnight or in cool water, then warm to room temperature before offering. Never microwave, and never refreeze thawed prey.
Dispatch is Monday–Wednesday. Full details on Shipping & FAQs.
