Can I feed my corn snake crickets?

Question

Can I feed my corn snake crickets?

Answer 1

simply no.

Answer 2

No, you need to feed it appropriately sized mice, which would probably be pinky(newborn, no hair) mice if it's a baby.

Answer 3

No Corn Snakes are strict carnivores. Baby Corns will eat pinkies (Newborn Baby Mice). Juveniles will eat fuzzies (Baby Mice Starting to grow hair). Sub Adults will eat hoppers(mice with all hair). Adults will eat hoppers to adult mice.

If you want a insectivore, then your best bet would be a rough green snake. It is really popular in the pet trade.

You can also get garter snakes. They eat pinkies, toads, minnows, and roaches.

Do some research about them.

Good Luck

Answer 4

Answer 6

your snake probably won't want crickets.

if your snake does't eat the cricket, the cricet will start to bite and eat your snake, and that will not be very good for it.

it wants mice or other rodents. look around for a few petstores in your area, and let them know you have a snake that requires pinkie mice, and arrange with them to keep a pinkie on hold for you as regularly as you can. you may also want to breed your won mice, so that you have a steady supply of litle babies availible to you, and again, you can arrange with a pet store to take the extra ones off your hands, for discounts on other produces in their store, or sell the extra mce on kijiji,com for a buck or two each.
