Frozen soft-furred African rat (pups 8g - 14g)

Boost the development of your growing reptiles with our Frozen African Soft Furred (ASF) Rats! Known worldwide as African Soft Furred (ASF) rats, these rodents are the natural original prey of Royal Pythons in their wild habitat.

Presented at the Pups stage (8 to 14 g), these young rats are fully furred but still tender in shape, representing a key step for advanced juveniles and young adults. They are an essential and highly nutritious alternative to break the fasting cycles of the most selective snakes thanks to their unique olfactory appeal.
