Fuzzy Rats provide a balanced mix of protein, fat, and moisture that helps support healthy growth in young carnivorous reptiles. They are often used as a step-up feeder once pets outgrow smaller pinkies but still need easy-to-digest prey.
Place the frozen feeders inside a sealed plastic bag and thaw them in cool or slightly warm water for about 20–30 minutes. Avoid microwaves or hot water, since uneven heating can damage the prey’s nutritional quality and texture.
Some reptiles prefer familiar scents and may hesitate at first. Rubbing a thawed mouse on the rat can help transfer scent and encourage feeding. Slightly warming the feeder and using feeding tongs may also improve acceptance.
Keep Fuzzy Rats sealed inside their original freezer-safe packaging until feeding time. Using separate feeding tools and washing hands thoroughly after handling raw prey can help maintain proper cleanliness and safe freezer storage at home.
Orders are packed with insulated materials and dry ice to maintain freezing temperatures during transit. This packaging system keeps the feeders frozen and protects them from temperature changes during shipping.
Yes, in many cases, they are still safe. Dry ice naturally evaporates during shipping. If the Fuzzy Rats appear completely frozen or show visible frost upon delivery, they can typically be placed directly into your freezer without concern.
This was the first time I have ordered from your company as well as ordering frozen mice/rats through the mail. I am so impressed with the shipment, packing, and the way the mice/rats are packaged. I have not opened them yet, but they appear to be very fresh. The Go Herping channel on Youtube highly recommended your company. I look forward to trying out your products on my milk snake and ball python. With the way you took such care in the packing of the rodents, as well as the packing/shipping, I am quite sure I will be very pleased. Thank you so much and have a wonderful afternoon.
I placed my order and received my order in perfect condition. Thanks for your help, looking forward to doing more business with you in the future.
We received the mice last week and are very happy with them. Thanks a lot for making this so easy, and I’ll be happy to give you my business when we need feeders in the future.
I just received my package in the mail today. Thank you for your fast response and quick shipping. The product arrived in excellent condition.
I just had to stop in the middle of a feeding session to thank you. Just as food and water are the staples of human life, of course rodents are the sole foundation of my career. I have been impressed lately with the quality of your rodents. Not just lately, but all along. It just […]
