Baby Mice: Give prepared canary or hamster mix plus berries, small fruits in season, and fresh seed growth; scatter seeds on cage bottom.
In wild, feed entirely on small animal life, including insects, scorpions, mice, lizards. Give live insects, scorpions when possible, baby mice, and small lizards.
In the wild, boas feed on young rats, mice, birds and their young, insects, and lizards. Boas are constrictors; however, they sometimes grasp prey with mouth and swallow it without using constriction. In captivity, give young rats, mice, and baby chicks. If snake kills prey but does not proceed to swallow it, prey is probably too large; offer smaller mouse or rat.
In the wild, rat snakes feed on rats, mice, and other small rodents, nesting birds, young gophers and rabbits, young chicks, chicken eggs; sometimes on tree frogs, insects, and other snakes; are constrictors. Give rats, mice, baby chicks; young of rabbits when possible; as much other native food as possible. Water—Use flat container; place in center of cage. |
