Frozen soft-furred African rat (sub adult 20g - 29g)

Offer your reptiles a meal with exceptional nutritional value with our Frozen African Soft Furred (ASF) Rats! Known worldwide as African Soft Furred (ASF) rats, these rodents are the natural prey of Royal Pythons in the wild.

Presented at the Sub-adult stage (20 to 29 g), they are the ideal size for adolescent snakes, moderately sized adult males, or developing females. This is the perfect solution to maximize protein intake without overloading your animals with fat, while effectively breaking fasting cycles thanks to their unique olfactory appeal.

Format

📦 Growth stage: Sub-adult (Fully developed young adult)

⚖️ Individual weight: 20 to 29 grams

Highlights

✅ Ultra-powerful olfactory stimulant — Their unique natural scent triggers a fierce predatory response in Royal Pythons and other picky species.

✅ Optimal protein/fat ratio — Sub-adult ASFs offer dense muscle mass, providing a meal richer in high-quality protein and lower in fat than a mouse of equivalent size.

✅ Ideal bone structure — Provides an excellent source of bioavailable calcium, essential to support the skeletal structure of your growing or breeding reptiles.

Tips & Parameters

🐍 The choice of demanding breeders — Especially recommended for Ball Pythons, colubrids, and large carnivorous lizards. A single ASF of this size often offers more nutritional benefits than several smaller prey.

🌡️ Freezer management — Keep frozen at all times (ideally organized in your upright freezer for perfect stock rotation). Never refreeze prey that has been thawed.

🧼 Strict hygiene — Always wash your hands and disinfect your tools (tongs, surfaces) after handling feeder rodents.
