I'd stay away fromguinipigs as they are very fatty and can cause fat deposits on the snak and around it's organs. Nice snake tho any current pics?

rachyxx Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 if she doesn't want it she doesn't take it, the vet says shes fine, she won't eat for the sake of eating. to be fair she hasn't ate for about 8 weeks at the mo anyway lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_aaron Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 i fancy a snake now - question....why do you guys feed the snakes dead/frozen mice opposed to watching it kill like it would in the wild? i can only assume price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNITERIDER Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 i fancy a snake now - question....why do you guys feed the snakes dead/frozen mice opposed to watching it kill like it would in the wild? i can only assume price? simply because your forcing an animal to live in a cage, and then putting a stressed animal in there aswell causes them to sometimes turn on the snake which can do some seriouse damage. some do feed live with no probs but keeping, storing and price are major factors as are damaging the snake. lots of vids on youtube of live feeding but generally its used as a last resort for fussy eaters.
