What the label does not say

"Extra Large" is a weight band (356-450g), not a fixed figure, so expect some variation between the three rats in the pack. Monkfield are specific that these need defrosting naturally at room temperature, never in warm water or a microwave, with hands washed before and after handling.

Why we chose it

Buying to a named weight band rather than guessing 'large' takes the guesswork out of matching prey to a growing reptile, and Monkfield's DEFRA licensing is a genuine credential rather than a marketing line. Three to a pack is also a sensible amount for a freezer rather than committing to a bulk box.

Full description

A reptile fed prey that's too big for it risks regurgitation or choking, and one fed prey that's too small isn't getting a properly sized meal, so matching the growth stage to the animal is one of the more important judgement calls in reptile keeping rather than a detail.

These are Extra Large rats, which Monkfield's own size chart puts at 356-450g each, sold frozen in a pack of 3. The analysis given is 14% protein, 5% fat and 64% moisture. As with the rest of the range, Monkfield say the rats come from a European rodent farm, are humanely euthanised to government-dictated guidelines, and the company is DEFRA-licensed for trade distribution.

Who it's for: keepers of larger reptiles whose feeding stage calls for an Extra Large rat — check your own animal's needs before ordering, since prey size matters more than it might seem.

Common questions

How big is an Extra Large rat?

356-450g each, according to Monkfield's size range.

How many are in a pack?

How do I defrost them?

Naturally, at room temperature, away from food preparation surfaces — never in warm water or a microwave, and wash your hands before and after.

Why does the size matter so much?

Prey that's too big risks regurgitation or choking, and prey that's too small under-feeds the animal — matching the stage to your reptile's size is important, not just a preference.
