chicks

[Dunner]

hey i've never fed chicks before, what would they compare to in size...as in compared to a rodent? an adult mouse...weanling rat? i have no idea

[jason h]

about the size of a small to medium rat

[vincenzo]

is it hard to get your snakes to switch to chicks from rodents and which is better for them??

[Linds]

Depends on the species. Tree snakes, burms, retics, boa constrictors seem to readily take chicks and prefer them. IMHO chicks should not be a staple diet, just offered periodically, as they are nutritionally incomplete and make for very smelly, messy feces :toilet:.
