Variety selection
Small white mice: This is one of the most common species, suitable for most snake pets, especially small to medium-sized snakes. Small white mice are moderate in size, plump in meat, easy to handle and feed.
Large white rats: For some large snakes, large white rats are a better choice. They provide more nutrition and larger size, which can meet the food needs of large snakes.
Preservation and use methods
Frozen mice need to be stored in the freezer of the refrigerator, usually kept at a temperature of minus 15-20 degrees, and their shelf life is 6-12 months. Before feeding, the frozen mice need to be thawed. You can use normal temperature tap water or warm water to brew them. After thawing, make sure the mouse's belly is soft, and then let it dry for about an hour to keep the temperature of the mouse between 20°-35°, which is more in line with the snake's diet.
Nutritional value and applicability
Frozen mice are frozen to ensure hygiene and safety. They are rich in nutrients and suitable as a staple food for snakes. Different varieties of frozen mice (such as mice and rats) can meet the needs of snakes of different sizes and diets.
