Frozen Mice 25/30g [pack of 25]

Frozen adult mice weighing 25/30 g are an ideal food for many species of predatory animals. Mice of this weight measure approximately 7.5-8.5 cm in body length, excluding the tail, and are sexually mature, gender identification is already possible based on visible sexual dimorphism. This size and stage of development of mice make them suitable for a variety of predatory animals.

Frozen mice 25/30 g as animal feed

Frozen mice of this size are an excellent food source for:

• Adult corn snakes, young boas, and pythons, which require an appropriate size prey for their diet.
• Many species of monitors, tegus, and large species of lizards, for which this is a natural and appropriate size of food.
• Cats that benefit from a whole prey diet, providing them with all the necessary nutrients in the most natural form.
• Raptors, which in nature hunt animals of similar size.
• Ferrets, which also prefer meat and benefit from a protein-rich diet.
• Young caimans and alligators, which require high-energy and nutrient-rich food.

Mice 25/30 g as cat feed

Studies unequivocally indicate that rodents constitute a fundamental category of animals comprising the diet of cats living in the wild. We have written more extensively about this on our blog about pet nutrition.

Additionally, studies suggest that cats typically prey on animals constituting about 1% of their body weight. This means that mice weighing 25-30 g will make an excellent component of the diet for domestic cats weighing 2.5-3 kg. It should also be taken into account that the same studies indicate a relatively large range of acceptable prey sizes when they are readily available. Under domestic conditions, frozen mice of this weight may therefore also serve as a meal for slightly larger or smaller cats:

“The most common prey size for cats is about 1% of their own body weights, which is much less than most previously reported values for carnivores.”¹

“Trophic niche breadth, as measured by the standard deviation of the spectrum of logarithmically transformed prey sizes ('SLH'), shows a latitudinal trend, being greater in low latitudes: it is also greater in periods of high prey availability.”¹

Why buy frozen mice?

Frozen mice provide predators with the full range of necessary nutrients, including protein, fats, as well as vitamins and minerals contained in meat, bones, and organs. Feeding prey in the form of whole prey helps maintain the health of animals' digestive systems and promotes their natural feeding habits.

How to feed with frozen mice?

Mice should be thawed to room temperature before feeding. It is recommended to avoid microwaving or cooking to avoid compromising the structure of nutrients. The mouse can be served whole or divided into parts for smaller animals.

By choosing our frozen mice, you are investing in the health of your pet by providing it with access to high-quality, naturally balanced food. This is the ideal solution for both breeders and pet owners who care about the proper diet of their predatory companions.
