Nancys previous owner says he eats chicken legs but he hasn't for me. She also said that chicken gives him the squirts (her words)

I feed one of my carpets solely on chickens due to it not eating rats or mice which is a pain.

When I was given my female maccy I was told all she eats is day-old chicks. I tried her on other things but all she wanted was the chicks, and only occassionally. No problems with her (no squirts), but just in the last few months I've got her taking rats, so that will make life much easier.

I don't know about the chickens but I'm about that close to smacking one of those damned Indian Myna birds down and tossing it in with my Darwin :twisted: Are bird mites a problem with pythons? :?

The feeding part is proberly not a good idea. There could be any number of poisons and parasites within those birds.

I give my carpets chickens once in a while, I try not to do it more than every second feed, although it probably wouldn't matter if it was more often. Funnily enough I have a chicken thawing as I type. If I was still as nuts as I was a month a go I'd take a photo and post it! :lol:

RE: Re: RE: chickens

I was told to freeze the day old chicks for about 6 weeks. This I was told was how long it took for whatever they had been injected with to disapate and then your snake wouldnt get the squits. It appears that the chicks are innocculated and a lot die during the procedure.

is it safe to feed larger chicks to snakes?

RE: Re: RE: chickens

I dont see a problem with feeding chicks to snakes. After all, how many pythons raid chicken coops? I feed my pythons chicks occasionally. I just dont like the idea of them striking at the chicks head due to the sharp beak.
