Overview
Frozen and thawed feeder rats are the primary prey item for ball pythons in captive breeding collections. Available in sizes from pinky through jumbo, they are purchased in bulk from suppliers like RodentPro, Big Cheese Rodents, and Perfect Prey, and stored in a dedicated chest freezer. Thawing is done in warm water for 20 to 30 minutes before offering. Feeding frozen/thawed prey eliminates live prey injury risk to the snake and is standard practice in professional breeding operations.
