Small Weaners Rats as Snake Food

PLT frozen rats are a main part of the diet of pet snakes, birds of prey, and some amphibians. PLT has been our reptile stores' sole supplier of frozen rats for 30 years and are the ones we highly recommend to our customers. PLT frozen rats are ethically bred and euthanised humanely before being packed into secure, clear plastic packaging.

These Weaner 30g+ are the perfect size for snakes and birds of prey. In our stores, we use these Weaner to feed all of the adult corn snakes and juvenile ball pythons.

You'll love them because:

  • We have a Frozen Arrival Guarantee for your peace of mind.

  • They are farm-bred in ethical conditions

  • They are euthanised humanely

  • Delivered straight to your door in good time

Packaging

This product arrives in a box with dry ice packs to keep the items frozen during transit. The dry ice packs have been specifically made for the transport of frozen food. The CO2 from the dry ice provides a secondary benefit of ensuring your box of food is kept free from pest insects during delivery.

In warmer months, there may be more dry ice packets placed into the box to ensure that they still arrive frozen.

Feeding Guide

  • Thaw thoroughly at room temperature before feeding

  • Remove any uneaten food to keep the enclosure clean and prevent mould or decay

  • Do not refreeze

If you’re looking for other types of snake food, we also stock other frozen food options such as frozen mice and frozen chicks.

Animal Suitability

We recommend Weaners for the following animals:

  • Adult Corn Snakes

  • Adult Milk Snakes

  • Adult Kingsnakes

  • Juvenile ball pythons

  • Carnivorous / omnivorous lizards and frogs

Storage Instructions

Keep these items in the freezer and only defrost what is needed. Keep sealed within the freezer to avoid freezer burn. Looking after your frozen food helps ensure your snake or other pet gets the best nutrition possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What animals are frozen rats weaner (30g+) for?

Frozen rats weaner (30g+) are a feeder size that suits adult corn snakes and juvenile ball pythons, and they can also work well for adult milk snakes, adult kingsnakes, plus some carnivorous or omnivorous lizards and frogs. They’re a practical step up when your animal needs more than mice, while keeping feeding portions consistent.

How do you keep the order frozen?

Orders arrive boxed with dry ice packs designed for transporting frozen food, helping maintain hygiene during transit. If your frozen rats weaner don’t arrive in great condition, contact the team and they’ll resolve it under the Frozen Arrival Guarantee, so you’re supported if the parcel arrives thawed or compromised.

What’s the safest way to thaw and handle these weaners before feeding?

For safety, thaw thoroughly at room temperature before feeding and keep handling clean to maintain hygiene. Remove any uneaten food from the enclosure to prevent mould or decay, and do not refreeze once defrosted. Washing hands after handling and keeping feeding items separate from kitchen surfaces also helps keep things hygienic.

How do I get fast delivery, and when will my order be dispatched?

Dispatch runs Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays, and orders placed before 12pm are typically dispatched that day, with delivery options shown at checkout based on basket contents and location. Frozen food is not dispatched on a Friday unless a Saturday delivery option is selected. If you need to amend your basket before paying, you can use checkout controls to continue shopping, then return to checkout once you’re ready.
