Fast processing and shipping are part of a push towards a responsive supply chain strategy for frozen and live feeder animals, explained a spokesperson for MiceDirect. Expediting delivery on perishable farm-to-doorstep is connected with the company's broader focus on freshness and quality.
In order to maximize feeder quality, MiceDirect rat pinkies are raised on farms in Cleveland, Georgia, fed Mazuri, a zoological-grade feed, and handled exclusively by trained staff. Animals are humanely euthanized using CO₂ and shipped frozen with dry ice to ensure integrity on arrival.
Typical sizes range from 1.5-2 inches (excluding the tail) and 3g to 8.99g, suitable for baby ball pythons and juvenile hognose, corn snakes, sand boas, and milk snakes. For keepers managing growth stages, MiceDirect also offers combo packs that pair pinkies with larger sizes like fuzzies and pups.
The announcement comes amid sustained growth in the U.S. reptile segment. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), approximately six million U.S. households own reptiles, with total pet industry spending reaching $152 billion in 2024 and continued growth projected for the end of 2025. Recent APPA insights also show strong engagement among reptile owners and a rise in multi-reptile households, particularly among snake keepers.
MiceDirect announced quick shipping, even as specialized reptile products are growing in value and sophistication. Packaged Facts (via The Freedonia Group) estimates that U.S. retail sales of reptile products were approximately $495 million in 2019, forecasting $550-$650 million by 2024, with food and feeder animals representing about one-third of the category.
MiceDirect's focus on customer convenience and product integrity is accompanied by customer guidance covering safe thawing, handling, and dry‑ice disposal instructions.
"Unlike imports from China, lab surplus or inferior rodent suppliers, this premium frozen pack of Rat Pinkies has been raised in Cleveland, Georgia, under the strictest quality controls," said the spokesperson. "In general, the average time that our frozen Rats are put to sleep and arrive at your door is about a week. This means that your frozen pack of Rat Pinkies reptile and snake food is among the freshest you can buy."
