I always buy 10 mice at a time.
That is 10 mice for each of the baby mice and 10 for both the larger two. |

there natural diet will change in the wild to what they can find but in captivity rodents have all the nutrional values a corn needs |

I always thought that corn snakes were primarily rodent eaters. |

Agreed.
Chicks can be useful for scenting pray in the case of non feeding corns but as mice hold all the nutritional value that corns need there is no need to feed chicks. |

o.o never thought about that but then I never have more than 2 weeks supply of mice or pinkies in my freezer. Was thinking about getting chicks as a change for ginger but wasn't sure about that one. |
