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.
Thaw thoroughly at room temperature before feeding
Remove any uneaten food to keep the enclosure clean and prevent mould or decay

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.
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.
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.

Frozen food is not dispatched on a Friday unless a Saturday delivery option is selected.
