Snake Food

Benefits of Frozen Snake Food

Frozen snake food offers numerous benefits that contribute to the overall health and well-being of your pet snake. By providing a diet that closely mimics what snakes eat in the wild, frozen snake food ensures your pet receives a natural and nutritious meal. This type of food is rich in protein and essential nutrients, making it an excellent option for your slithery friends.

A diet rich in protein supports muscle development, energy levels, and overall growth in your snake. Additionally, frozen food can help reduce their stress levels by offering a familiar and natural food source, which can be particularly beneficial for snakes that are prone to stress in captivity.

Choosing the right frozen snake food plays a key role in your pet’s health and wellbeing. At Northampton Reptile Centre, we know that only the highest quality, most nutritious prey is suitable for your snake. That’s why we’ve carefully tested multiple suppliers to source the healthiest frozen mice, multimammate mice, rats, quail, chicks, rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, and hamsters available.

With our wide range of frozen options, you can easily find the best food to match your snake’s specific dietary needs, ensuring they stay healthy, active, and well-fed.

Frozen Mice

Our frozen mice are an excellent range of snake food and a favourite of corn snakes. We send them in plastic packs, each of which is individually sealed. All the packages are then packed into a large square box. The gaps are filled and two packs of dry ice are included to keep the items frozen in transit. The box is then sealed tightly with tape and sent with recorded next-day delivery.

Our mice are ethically farm-bred and humanely slaughtered. They are quickly frozen after death and packed just before dispatch to ensure they stay fully frozen.

Frozen Multimammate Mice

Now for the humble mouse’s close competition. If your reptile turns its nose up at regular mice, frozen multimammate mice are a good alternative. These mice are more natural prey for many snakes, offering a higher protein and fat content than standard mice, making them an excellent choice for fussy eaters or snakes needing extra nutrition.

We carefully package our frozen multimammate mice to ensure they arrive in top condition. Each plastic pack is individually sealed, then packed into a durable box with two packs of dry ice to maintain freezing temperatures during transit. The box is securely sealed and shipped via recorded next-day delivery for maximum freshness.

Our multimammate mice are ethically farm-raised and humanely slaughtered.

Frozen Rats

Just like with our mice, we’ve carefully tested multiple suppliers to source the healthiest and most nutritious frozen rats available.

Our frozen rats are a reliable and popular food choice for pet snakes. They’re packaged in individually sealed plastic packs, then securely placed into a sturdy box for delivery. To keep everything frozen in transit, we fill any gaps, add two packs of dry ice, and seal the box tightly with tape before sending it via recorded next-day delivery.

Our rats are ethically farm-raised and humanely slaughtered. They are rapidly frozen after death and packed just before dispatch to ensure they remain in optimal condition upon arrival.

Frozen Quail and Chicks

Frozen chicks and quail can be a useful alternative for your snakes, especially for fussy feeders. While day-old chicks are affordable, they’re not as nutritionally balanced as rodents and are best used occasionally or when encouraging a reluctant eater. Quail offer more variety in texture and nutrients, but rodents remain the most complete option for most snakes. These prey items are also popular with keepers of birds of prey, adding flexibility to your feeding routine.

You know the drill. We place each frozen quail and chick pack carefully into a secure box. Like with all of our frozen reptile food, we fill any gaps, add two packs of dry ice, and tightly seal the box before it makes its way to you.

Sourced from ethical farms, our quail and chicks are humanely slaughtered and quickly frozen after death. They are packed just before dispatch to ensure they arrive in perfect condition, ready to be introduced to your snake’s diet.

Frozen Rabbits

Frozen rabbits provide a nutrient-rich, natural prey option for your snake. Frozen rabbits are an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, making them ideal for larger snakes or those needing a more substantial meal. Their high nutritional value supports healthy growth, digestion, and overall wellbeing.

Like all our prey items, our frozen rabbits are ethically farm-raised, humanely slaughtered, and rapidly frozen after death to lock in freshness. The individually sealed plastic packs are carefully packed in a secure box, and shipped with dry ice to maintain freezing temperatures. With recorded next-day delivery, you can be sure your snake gets the best quality prey.

Frozen Guinea Pigs

Our frozen guinea pigs are a recommended food choice for larger snakes that require a more substantial meal. Their size and high protein content make them a great energy source, helping to support growth and overall health. However, because guinea pigs have a different mineral composition than smaller rodents, it's best to supplement your snake’s diet with a variety of prey, such as rats or mice, to ensure balanced nutrition.

Our guinea pigs, gerbils, and hamsters are responsibly farmed, humanely slaughtered, and quickly frozen after death to preserve freshness. Each pack is sealed, securely stored in a durable box, and shipped with dry ice to keep them frozen in transit. With recorded next-day delivery, you can trust that your snake is getting top-quality prey, every time.

Frozen Gerbils

Frozen gerbils can be hard to come by, but we make sure to keep them in stock for snake keepers looking for variety in their pet’s diet. Due to their larger size and natural fat content, they are an excellent choice for larger snakes, particularly boa constrictors, that enjoy heartier meals. Their nutritional profile makes them a great alternative to standard rodents, though we still recommend a varied diet for optimal health.

Frozen Hamsters

If you're looking to add variety to your snake’s diet, frozen hamsters are a great option. They have a higher fat content than other rodents, making them an occasional indulgence for your pet, perfect for snakes that need extra energy or a treat every now and then. While they provide a nutrient-rich meal, we recommend incorporating them into a balanced diet alongside other prey like rats or mice.
