Rodents Vs Birds

What do you feed yours snakes? Are they Stubborn feeder? Here is some of the food I offer my snakes. variety of choice. Baby Chick, Baby quail, Rat, Mice and hamster. I been ask few times by some snakes keeper and few other exotics pet hobbyist. what the different between bird and rodents as food for snakes. Here What I think after giving all those kind of variety meal for my pet snakes for few years.

I personally think. Rodent is good to fattening ur snakes especially if your wanted to make them quickly to breeding size as long not make your snakes too obese and after it digested it food, The snakes poo is like some dog poo with the shape like unripe small banana where as for bird, it worth to try for those stubborn feeder, Bird make your snakes skin glow and shinning and to make them to breeding size is bit slow maybe a baby bird do not have enough meat in it and it poo is watery n make ur vivarium dirtier. My guess it must been from the bird feather. Snakes will still grow but just bit slower. Basically as long they eat. As a snakes keeper. That itself is satisfying enough and nothing to be worried.
I know some keeper will stress out when their pet Snakes refuse food for few weeks or sometimes up to few months. Actually that shouldn't be any problem. Snakes can last 6 and up to a year without food. As long as ur snakes is healthy and do not lose too much weight. But if i does lose a lot of weight and still do not show sign wanted to eat. Try different type of food before seeking last option to assist feeding them.
S0 for all snakes keeper. Good Luck on trying all those food item for your pet snakes. I'm sure it easily available In the markets in Brunei if u know how and where to look..
