Mastomys 20/30g [10 pieces] – high-quality frozen feeder for snakes, cats, and other predators

Mastomys, also known as multimammate mice, are a species of rodent originating from sub-Saharan Africa. In the wild, they are one of the main food sources for many predators, including snakes, birds of prey, and carnivorous mammals.

High-quality frozen Mastomys weighing 20–30g is an excellent feeding option for medium-sized snakes, larger birds of prey, and cats fed according to the whole prey diet.

For which animals is this product intended?

This size of Mastomys is particularly recommended for:

• young ball pythons,
• young African snakes such as Boaedon capensis or Python sebae,
• birds of prey kept in captivity or rehabilitation centers,
• adult domestic cats on a whole prey diet,
• exotic carnivorous mammals fed a natural diet.

Thanks to their slightly larger size compared to other weight categories, 20–30g Mastomys reduce the number of pieces needed to feed an animal. This type of high-quality frozen food is a convenient option for breeders and caretakers of carnivorous animals.

Mastomys 20–30g and similar products as a remedy for fasting

Snakes can be picky, and periodic fasting is a common issue among species kept in terrariums. Mastomys, with a subtler scent compared to regular feeder mice, are often accepted by snakes that refuse to eat other rodents.

According to information from snake breeders, Mastomys effectively break fasting periods and stimulate appetite even in individuals that have refused food for a long time.

Optimal nutritional values of Mastomys

Frozen Mastomys are distinguished by their optimal composition, providing valuable nutrients without overloading the animal's digestive system.

Analytical composition:

• Moisture: 60%
• Protein: 21%
• Fat: 8%
• Ash: 4%

This composition is beneficial for both reptiles and mammals. Mastomys are a high-quality frozen food supporting healthy development, muscle mass maintenance, and overall animal well-being.

Mastomys as part of a whole prey diet for cats

Many cat owners choose to include whole prey in their pets' diets to provide the most natural feeding model. Mastomys originate from the same regions as the ancestors of domestic cats, which may explain why these rodents are so attractive to felines.

Whole prey food, including 20–30g Mastomys, offers a complete range of components: muscles, organs, bones, fats, and skin. All in the ideal amount and proportions. Moreover, this type of food not only nourishes healthily but also satisfies the cat's hunting instincts.

Are Mastomys a safe feeder?

Absolutely! The Mastomys offered in our store come from controlled breeding facilities that uphold the highest standards of hygiene and animal welfare. The rodents are:

• free from diseases and parasites,
• humanely euthanized using CO₂,
• deep-frozen immediately after euthanasia,
• stored and transported under refrigerated conditions.

Products are delivered to the customer packed in thermal-insulated packaging, secured with dry ice, ready to be placed in a freezer.

How to store Mastomys after delivery?

Upon receiving the shipment, we recommend placing the product in a household freezer as soon as possible. Mastomys, like other frozen rodent products, should be stored at a temperature below -18°C and should not be refrozen after thawing.

How to properly thaw Mastomys?

Frozen rodents should not be thawed too quickly or subjected to heat treatment. Safe thawing methods include:

• Thawing in the refrigerator: transfer the measured portion into a container in the fridge 6–12 hours before feeding.
• Thawing at room temperature: leave in a sealed bag or on a clean plate.
• Thawing in warm water: place the securely packed Mastomys into a bowl of warm water (not exceeding 40°C).

We strongly advise against cooking, baking, or using a microwave to heat the product.

Why choose Mastomys over other rodents?

Compared to traditional feeder mice and rats, Mastomys offer:

• a more attractive scent for picky predators,
• a higher fat and protein content relative to body mass,
• a lower tendency to cause digestive problems,
• a natural dietary diversity for species originating from Africa.

Thanks to their balanced composition, Mastomys support the immunity, growth, and condition of animals. They are also an excellent feeding alternative during stressful situations, convalescence, or when building body mass in young individuals.
