The multimammate mouse ( Mastomys natalensis ) is a high-quality, natural feeder animal, particularly valued in reptile and carnivore husbandry. Its robust build, good meat yield, and balanced nutritional profile make it ideal prey for many carnivores.
Multimammate mice are a popular food source for snakes, larger lizards, monitor lizards, and birds of prey. Compared to standard mice, they have a slightly higher fat and energy content, making them well-suited for improving fitness, for pregnant animals, or after periods of rest.
As whole-prey animals, multimammate mice provide a natural ratio of muscle meat, bones, organs, and fur, supporting a species-appropriate and balanced diet. They are available both live (where permitted) and frozen, and can be optimally selected according to the animal's size.
