Is variety the spice of life?

I know we feed frozen mice because it is easy & very available. But what about frozen quail & other things. Is it O.K. to vary your snakes diet or are they conditioned to only recognize mice as a food source. If I though it would be good for them I would order frozen quail chicks from time to time.
Just wondering if anyone else feeds their corns something besides mice?

I've never fed birds, might try chicks next spring when they are cheap. I do feed a variety of rodents though, mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, ASF, what ever I have thats the right size. I only had one snake who was picky, she prefered mice but would take live rat pups if its all I had.

I'm feeding mine mice and rats, as my pet store doesn't have adult mice from time to time (they had to do a special order for me, am I the only one feeding mice to my corn...? heck...) Rat pups seems to do the job just fine, but I'm scared of getting my snake fatty lol! So I try to get mice as much as possible. I heard snakes can get picky when they get fed gerbils, did you ever have any problems switching back to something else after waldo?

What you need to think about is whats IN the food rather than what IS the food. Mice are a perfect staple for corns. They have a well balanced nutritional content.

Rats I feel are far too fatty for slim colubrids like corns. Chicks are ok but they are high in protein and fat and very little of everything else. ASF's are a good inbetween but they are much more fatty than mice and tend to get a lot larger than mice.
