Can you leave a live pinky in a cornsnake cage overnight

Question

can I because I heard pinkies(mice baby) can't see and they don't have teeth or claws and if they do there prob to small to cause any dam. right?

Answer 1

yeah i always did if they didn't eat in the feeding bucket but just don't make it a habit you want to feed them in their feeding bucket as much as possible

Answer 2

The only way that is ok is if you put both of them in a paper bag or cardboard box and put that in the cage. Just dumping a pinkie in the cage will have the snake associating you opening the cage with feeding. Putting it in a different container helps it associate that with feeding, and keeps it from eventually striking when opening its cage.

Answer 3

yes that is ok the pinkie cannot hurt the snake.

Just not a hopper or adult mouse.

Answer 4

dont see why not! but as someone else said its best to feed in a feeding container!
