Guide to Different Sizes of Frozen Mice

Pinky mice are the smallest size of frozen mice, making them ideal for very young reptiles. They are called pinkies because they appear pink in color, as they have not formed a coat of fur yet.

• Extra-Small Pinky Mice are generally one day old and weigh 1.50-1.99 grams. Extra-Small Pinky Mice are a good choice for baby snakes and reptiles. Snakes in captivity can eat their first feeder mouse at 7-14 days  of age.
• Small Pinky Mice are 1-2 days old and weigh 2.00-2.49 grams. They are suitable for very young, growing snakes and reptiles. To choose the right size feeder for your snake, start by selecting one with a circumference that matches the thickest part of the snake's body.
• Large Pinky Mice are 3-4 days old and weigh 2.50-2.99 grams. These mice are the last neonatal size before moving to the juvenile category.

Fuzzy mice typically weigh between 3.00 to 6.99 grams and are the next size on our frozen mouse size chart. They haven’t opened their eyes yet, but some have started to develop a light coat of fur. At RodentPro.com, we offer two frozen rodent sizes in this category.

• Peach Fuzzy Mice (small fuzzies) are 5-9 days old and weigh 3.00-4.49 grams. Some may be starting to develop a slight coat of fur. Peach Fuzzy Mice are the perfect size for those animals in which pinkies are too small and fuzzies are too large.
• Fuzzy Mice (large fuzzies) are 10-13 days old and weigh 4.50-6.99 grams. At this stage they have not opened their eyes yet and have developed a full coat of fur. Fuzzy Mice are available with white fur, dark fur or without fur.

Subadult mice are slightly larger than fuzzies and have opened their eyes and developed fur. RodentPro.com offers these mice in hairless, dark and white varieties. They are big enough to eat and drink independently. We feed all our mice a scientifically formulated diet to ensure your pet receives superior nutritional content with each meal.

• Small Mice, also known as hoppers, are 14-19 days old and weigh 7.00-12.99 grams. These are appropriate for many subadult snakes, birds of prey and other exotic pets.
• Medium Mice, or weanlings, are 20-24 days old and weigh 13.00-17.99 grams. This age and weight range makes them suitable for snakes that require a moderate-sized prey item, offering an appropriate balance of nutrition and size to meet the needs of many reptiles.

Adult mice are the largest frozen mouse size, ranging from 18-45+ grams. At this stage they have reached sexual maturity and are available as hairless, white or dark mouse feeders.

• Large Mice, also called adults, are 25-30 days old. They weigh 18.00-29.99 grams. These feeders are appropriate for larger snakes, reptiles and birds of prey.
• Extra-Large Mice, sometimes known as retired breeders or jumbos, are generally 5-6 months old and range in weight from 30.00-45.00+ grams. These are the largest mice offered by RodentPro.com and are suitable for larger snakes, reptiles, and birds of prey.

Captive snakes can be particular about their prey. Start with the smallest possible feeders and gradually increase the size as your pet grows. If the feeder is too large, the snake may swallow and then regurgitate it, causing undue stress that can be deadly in extreme cases. If you are uncertain of the correct size of frozen mice to purchase, contact your breeder, food supplier, or veterinarian for guidance.
