Hi Snake Expert,

How to choose snake food?

What's the snake food for corn snake?

Thanking in advance!

Corns eat rodents and only rodents in captivity . Baby corns start out on pinkie mice and move up from there as they grow. Adults can eat large adult mice or small rats.

Yes, that's it!

Most people who is new to reptile sometimes find it difficult to search for the best reptile food for their pet!

Hope this info from ReptileMan27 can help you!

Yea, rats are also better breeders then mice. I would think rat pups would be to big for baby corns, I feed my biggest corn small adult rats but the rest of my corns eat different size mice.

My corn is eating large hoppers at the moment but I think im going to start getting bigger sized mice.

hoppers?!what do u mean by hoppers?were i come from that means locust and i hope its a different definition to were u r!!
the rule in feeding is only feed what your snake can comfortably swallow, usually prey that is around the same size as the diameter of the snake, anything larger than this usually the snake cannot handle and will regurgitate. also making sure ur temps are correst and that u have hiding areas for ur snake to eat in peace and feel comfortable is also important

Hoppers are the next size up after fuzzies and the last stage before they become adults, the reason they are called hoppers is because they hop like crazy , when I bred mice, that was the worse time because they would hop like crazy , I remember they almost hopped out of the tank a few times

Also, chicks will also increase the risk of salmonella.
