One thing that you might want to consider is that if your snake is growing rapidly, it might eat those pups faster than you think. Mine started eating 2 at a sitting pretty quickly. Little snakes get hungry very quickly--mine ate every 4 days, and IIRC, the two of them ate their way through only one bag of frozen pups before they moved on up to weaners.

Yea I have aggro feeding twice a week and everytime he is ready to go he has been on mouse hoppers so I figured its time to bump him up to rat pups since he is hitting the 150g mark

To add on to what was said, they keep for a good long time if you keep them in the freezer properly - i.e. the more airtight you keep them the longer they will last, and such.

However, if you're getting 25 (I'm making the assumption that you're feeding every 7 days) then that's about a month's worth of food for your snake. If I'm correct, then you'll have no problem keeping them for a month - they'll be perfectly fine.

???? 25 rat pups for one snake is way more than a months worth.

I was thinking the same thing. Actually feeding one snake every 7 days 25 consecutive times would mean the supply would last 175 days or roughly 5.5 months. BUT the snake will grow out of pups and you will need to feed two pups in no time so I would guestimate 4 months supply with 25 pups for a good feeder on a 7 day schedule.

Hahaha yeah, sorry guys. I was way tired when writing it and I didn't realise the mistake until after it was too late to edit Late night math apparently doesn't work for me. I feel so stupid now haha

Don't feel stupid, I was just messing with ya...I know how it feels I was taking college algebra and accounting at the same time and I was getting smoked.
