We can get 100 day old cockrels for $9.95 or 1000 for $30. It is a very cheap way to add a bit of variety. | I suppose I should give it a go. My Darwin eats anything I toss out in front of her (rats and mice that is!) Any risks with feeding them live? not that I'd do such a thing....errrrr...lol Can the chicks do any damage to the snake?? I suppose the thing I don't want have happen is to get her into a habit of wanting chooks, It'd be once in a blue moon kind of thing.. |
