MiceDirect has expanded its pet food inventory, now including American-raised frozen hopper mice for young pet snakes.

Cleveland, United States, December 3, 2025 -- The recently expanded frozen feed selection from MiceDirect is ideal for subadult pet snakes, including juvenile ball pythons and corn snakes. The mice provided by the company are raised in humane conditions and are painlessly euthanized within a week of purchase, ensuring they are shipped as fresh as possible.

Frozen feeder mice are generally recommended over live feed by many animal experts, according to research from the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. Live mice present a significant threat to pet snakes, as they will attack to avoid predation, potentially leaving the snake with trauma and extensive injuries that require expensive and prolonged veterinary care - some attacks may even result in the death of the pet.

Additionally, snakes bred in captivity may be unwilling to feed if they feel threatened or excited by stimuli, placing them at further risk of sustaining injuries from the uneaten mouse.

On the other hand, the team at MiceDirect explains that frozen rodents are advantageous for snakes because they offer the same nutritional value as live mice without posing a risk to the animal. Frozen feed is also less likely to harbor disease, making it a safer option for the overall long-term health of the snake.

In the pet industry, feeder mice are offered in different sizes to suit the needs of snakes at various stages of growth. Hopper mice, which are small mice approximately 1.25 to 1.5 inches long and weigh between 7 and 13 grams each, are suitable for juvenile corn snakes, ball pythons, and redtail boas and subadult milk snakes.

At MiceDirect, these mice are fed Mazuri, a zoological-grade feed, to ensure that the animal is healthy at the time of death. Moreover, because the mice are not sourced from lower-quality imports or lab surplus and are raised in humane conditions, they are disease-free with no risk of medical contamination to the snake.

MiceDirect’s hopper mice are available in packs of 15 to 200. The packs can be purchased on a subscription basis at bulk pricing. Because the mice are preserved in dry ice, MiceDirect advises customers not to handle the feed with their bare hands; in addition, they should ensure that all tools and surfaces that the feed makes contact with are thoroughly sanitized.
