Premium Nutrition for Developing Predators

For the beginner enthusiast, choosing the right “starter” prey is crucial. Stoffels Frozen Mouse Pups are newborn mice that have not yet grown fur or developed a hard skeletal structure. This makes them exceptionally soft and easy to digest for young reptiles, such as corn snakes, ball python hatchlings, or bearded dragons, whose digestive systems are still maturing.

Why Choose Stoffels Frozen Pinkies?

• Nutrient-Dense: Rich in essential proteins and fats required for rapid growth and healthy shedding cycles.

• Hygienic & Safe: Frozen feeders eliminate the risk of “prey injury” to your pet and significantly reduce the chance of parasite transmission compared to live feeding.

• Convenient Storage: The 100-piece bulk pack is secured in a resealable ziplock bag, preventing freezer burn and ensuring you can take out exactly what you need while keeping the rest airtight.

• Ethical Sourcing: Stoffels adheres to strict welfare standards, ensuring that all feeders are raised humanely and dispatched quickly before flash-freezing.

Beginner’s Guide: How to Feed

1. Thawing: Remove the required number of pinkies from the bag. Place them in a sealed plastic bag and submerge in lukewarm water (never boiling) for approximately 15–20 minutes until soft throughout.

2. Temperature Check: Ensure the mouse is at room temperature or slightly warmer (approx. 25–30°C) to stimulate your pet’s hunting instinct.

3. Offer: Use feeding tongs (tweezers) to gently wiggle the pinky in front of your pet. This mimics live movement and encourages a strike.

4. Hygiene: Always wash your hands and any surfaces thoroughly after handling frozen feeders.

Note to Beginners: Never use a microwave to thaw frozen mice, as this creates “hot spots” that can cause internal burns to your reptile and destroys vital nutrients.
