Hoppers, also known as weanling mice, are an important source of nutrition for many carnivorous pets, particularly reptiles like snakes and larger lizards. These mice are slightly larger and more developed than pinkies and fuzzies, making them suitable prey for pets that have outgrown smaller prey items but are not yet ready for fully grown adult mice. Hoppers provide a balance of protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals essential for the health and growth of carnivorous animals. Their size and relatively soft bones make them easily digestible, reducing the risk of digestive issues in the animals that consume them. When feeding hoppers to pets, it's crucial to select prey that is appropriately sized for the predator's mouth and feeding capabilities to prevent injury or choking hazards.

Perfect for smaller snakes and lizards!
