Premium Nutrition for Growing Reptiles

Stoffels specializes in ethically sourced, high-quality feeder rodents that meet the rigorous demands of professional keepers and beginner hobbyists alike. Our Small Mice (10-15g) represent the “Hopper” stage of development, where the mice have developed fur and a more complex skeletal structure, providing a vital source of calcium and phosphorus for your growing pet.

Why Choose Stoffels Frozen Feeders?

• Ethical Sourcing: All mice are humanely dispatched and bred in clean, veterinary-supervised environments within the EU.

• Safety First: Frozen feeders eliminate the risk of live prey injuring your reptile. The flash-freezing process also significantly reduces the risk of parasites.

• Ziplock Convenience: No more messy open bags. The resealable pouch keeps the mice organized and prevents freezer burn, ensuring every meal is as fresh as the first.

• Optimal Health: Each mouse is raised on a nutrient-rich diet, ensuring that when your reptile eats, they are receiving a powerhouse of vitamins and energy.

Beginner’s Guide: How to Prepare and Feed

Feeding frozen-thawed (F/T) prey is the safest and most convenient way to keep your reptile healthy.

1. Defrosting: Take the required number of mice out of the freezer. Place them in a sealed container and let them thaw naturally in the refrigerator for 4-6 hours or at room temperature. Never use a microwave, as this can cook the mouse internally and harm your pet.

2. Warming: To trigger a strong feeding response, place the thawed mouse in a plastic bag and submerge it in warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes.

3. Feeding: Use feeding tongs or forceps to offer the mouse. Gently wiggle the mouse to mimic movement, which encourages your snake to strike.

4. Hygiene: Always wash your hands and disinfect all surfaces or tongs that come into contact with the raw prey.

Pro Tip for Beginners: If your snake is hesitant, try “scenting” the room by placing the warm mouse near the enclosure for a few minutes before offering it.
