Frozen Hopper Rats

At Frozen Rodents Australia, we offer frozen hopper rats in two convenient sizes: small (30-39 grams) and large (40-49 grams), making them an ideal food source for reptiles transitioning to larger prey. Frozen hopper rats provide significant nutritional benefits while offering a manageable prey size, perfect for medium to large reptiles that need more substantial meals than fuzzy rats but aren't yet ready for weaners or adult rats.

Nutritional Benefits of Frozen Hopper Rats

Frozen hopper rats offer a highly nutritious meal for reptiles, with a well-balanced combination of proteins, fats, and essential nutrients. They provide more substantial portions than pinkies or fuzzy rats, making them an excellent option for reptiles in the critical stages of growth and development. This makes frozen hopper rats particularly beneficial for juvenile pythons and larger carnivorous lizards, supporting healthy muscle and bone development.

Small vs. Large Hopper Rats

We offer two sizes of hopper rats to suit the needs of your reptiles:

- Small Hopper Rats (30-39 grams): These are perfect for reptiles that have graduated from smaller fuzzy rats but still need manageable prey. The small hopper rats provide just the right amount of nutrition without overwhelming the reptile, making them ideal for medium-sized snakes and lizards.

- Large Hopper Rats (40-49 grams): Larger hopper rats are suited for reptiles that need a more significant portion of food but are not quite ready for adult rats. These rats are ideal for medium to large snakes and carnivorous reptiles, offering more sustenance while ensuring easy digestion.

Perfect for Growing Reptiles

Frozen hopper rats are an excellent feeding option for reptiles that are still growing but require more substantial meals. As reptiles progress through different growth stages, hopper rats fill the gap between smaller prey like pinkies or fuzzies and larger prey like weaners or adult rats. By feeding frozen hopper rats, you ensure your reptiles get the nutrition they need to grow strong and healthy.

Convenience and Cost Savings

Frozen hopper rats are available in bulk, allowing you to stock up and save. With proper storage, frozen hopper rats can be kept for months in a freezer, making feeding routines easier to manage. Buying in bulk also helps save money in the long run, ensuring you always have a consistent food supply for your pets without the worry of spoilage.

Safe and Humane Feeding

All of our frozen rodents are ethically sourced and humanely euthanized, providing a safer, more ethical alternative to live feeding. Feeding frozen prey minimizes the risk of injury to your reptiles and reduces the chances of introducing parasites or diseases into their environment. This humane approach to feeding ensures your reptiles remain safe and healthy, and it gives you peace of mind.

Ideal for Educational and Research Facilities

Frozen rats are not only great for reptile owners but also for educational institutions and research labs. These mid-sized rodents are commonly used in scientific studies and dissections, providing a practical size for anatomical and biological research. Hopper rats allow for detailed studies without the complexity of handling larger adult specimens.

Conclusion

Frozen hopper feeder rats are an essential part of any reptile feeding routine, offering both small and large sizes to accommodate your pets' needs. Whether you're feeding a growing snake or a carnivorous lizard, hopper rats provide a perfect balance of nutrition, size, and convenience.
