Is there ever a time that Corns need or would benefit from having their food supplemented with vits or calcium? Just a thought....

dip the mouse's bum in something like Nutrobal........ NOT the head end as the unfamiliar smell will put them off eating it.

generally supplementation isn't needed, and over-supplementation can be potentially harmful to your snake
