posted this link on TRP in answer to a question, but thought that as not everyone over here goes into TRP, that people might find this interesting, http://glasgow.academia.edu/KevinArbuckle/Papers/397760/Suitability_of_day-old_chicks_as_food_for_captive_snakes

not only nutritional information also details of dietary makeup for various species (I was very surprised to find out the quantity of a boas diet that's made up of birds in the wild 40%)
any way thought you might find this an iteresting read.

1.0.0 Classic corn snake - Dodge,2.2.0 Normal Royal - Palin,Detritus, Lyssa & Sofia,1.0.0 Spider royal - Anan,1.0.0 Mojave Royal - Ocha,1.0 Butter Royal - Huritt,0.1 Pastel ph ghost - Weeko,0.1 Yellowbelly - Loni,1.1.0 crawl cay boas -Maya & Pech,1.0.0 Hypo hog island boa - Harley,0.1.0 Hog island Boa - Babe


opinions are like ars*holes, everyone's got one, but you don't need to share them with the world.

Good stuff.

8 of mine got chicks the other day, including the carpet and 7 corns- good filling meals, a challenge to eat, and nutrition wise pretty much as good as mice.

Plus, they're cheep!! (Couldn't resist lol)

So is it true feeding chicks makes their poo stink much more than usual?
