How do Pinky Rats support young carnivores?
Pinky Rats contain a balanced mix of 13.5% protein and natural fats, along with a high moisture content of 79.2%. This specific structural distribution offers an energy-dense, easily metabolized meal that supports rapid skeletal growth and smooth digestion in juvenile reptiles transitioning to larger prey styles.
What is the safest way to thaw Pinky Rats?
To safely thaw your feeders, submerge the vacuum-sealed bag in a container of cool or lukewarm water for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the core becomes completely pliable. Never subject raw prey to microwaves or boiling water, as localized cooking destroys essential cellular vitamins and degrades structural proteins.
How can I switch reptiles from mice to rats?
Different mammalian species have distinct olfactory signatures, which can lead to initial hesitation in some reptiles when interacting with them. You can successfully override this by "scenting" the rat pinky—rubbing a thoroughly thawed mouse feeder across its surface before presentation. Warming the item in a watertight bag to a natural body temperature and using long feeding tongs to mimic minor movement will reliably activate their predatory strike reflex.
How should Pinky Rats be stored safely?
Our pinkies are packed inside commercial-grade, air-tight barrier packaging to ensure clean storage alongside standard household items. When preparing a meal, follow strict sanitary practices by using designated feeding tools, keeping the storage bag tightly sealed, and thoroughly washing hands and surrounding surfaces with warm antibacterial soap immediately after use.
How does dry ice keep feeders frozen during shipping?
Every order is packed inside a specialized high-performance container lined with an encapsulated fiberglass insulation blanket and layered with a precise mass of solid dry ice blocks. This maintains a continuous, sub-zero deep-freeze environment through standard logistics routing, ensuring your products remain solidly frozen from our facility to your doorstep.
Are feeders safe if dry ice disappears during delivery?
Yes. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide gas that naturally dissipates into the air over time. The structural safety of the shipment depends entirely on the state of the feeders themselves; if the pinky rats are completely firm to the touch or display visible surface frost crystals upon unboxing, the cold chain remains uncompromised, and they can go straight into your freezer.

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.
