Defrost frozen rodents or chicks naturally at room temperature on newspaper or kitchen towels away from food, food preparation surfaces and equipment.
DO NOT defrost in warm water or a microwave as this could cause contamination.
Always wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately before and after handling raw or defrosted food.
Always disinfect all surfaces that have come into contact with the defrosted food we recommend using Dew disinfection as its water based, leaves no smell or taste and is animal safe.
We recommend using Reptile Rewards feeding tongs when feeding or handling rodents to keep your hands clear of striking snakes and minimise contact with rodents
Please note all frozen food should be defrosted thoroughly before use.
