A neonate ( baby ) ball python needs to eat every 3 to 4 days until it is at least 200 grams. It is best to feed it pinky rats rather than mice if it will accept them.
For a ball python being raised as a pet rather than a breeder it can be fed ever 5 to 7 days once it is in the juvinile stages.
There is no exact number for how many they eat.
It depends on the size, the bigger the snake, the more you have to feed them, and the more it costs. My 3.5 ball python could easily take 7 large mice, and 1-2 medium rats.
No because if you feed a Corn Snake live mice then it can also put up a fight.Which gives the mouse an opportunity to hurt your snake.So you should probaly feed your snake frozen dead mice.
Your pet store should have feeder mice for snakes. They are baby mice and do not have the nails or teeth developed enough to injur your pet sanke.
All snakes in the wild only eat alive rats or mice usually they wont even notice dead mice You should feed your snake with alive mice to maintain the snake`s instinct for killing pray to eat
a mice
not very old, but it is much safer to buy frozen mice let them thaw and give it to your snake because live mice can have diseases that frozen mice can not have because of the temperature they are in
if you can not provide mice, you can feed it about three small worms twice weekly. how much it will eat depends on the temperature it is stored in.
Sure. It should eat live mice very well.
2 mice in one meal
It's possible for mice to injure snacks, and that might include nibbling away at them. There's been many cases of irresponsible keepers giving a small snake too large of a mouse and the mouse injuring the snake as a result. That's why dead rodents are much safer to feed to snakes. If the snake is finicky and refuses to eat pre-dead food (which does happen) then they should be supervised during feedings and small prey should be given. When using live feed, many snake keepers prefer to knock the feed animal unconscious before putting it into the enclosure.
ask in your local pet store as most have them frozen if not they should know a place that do. p.s if your pet is a snake it would be good to give them alive mice every once and a while to stimulate them as they would hunt and eat live mice in the wild.
Only the fancy ones (unless feeding it to a snake, that would be fine). HOWEVER, killing a house mice is not illegal, and therefore should be killed.
Mice.
