Feeding ?

Ok, my cousin's hamster recently gave birth and the lil critters are about the size of fuzzies right now. What i'm asking, is it ok to feed a corn hamsters? If yes, then i'd only be using hamster pinkies and peach fuzzies b/c the grown ones are too fat for my snakes. The reason i asked this is b/c even shorthaired hamsters look like they have a lot more fur than mice, so i just thought i'd ask?

any rodent should be fine as long as it is healthy and of an appropriate size

This is just what I believe others may view this different and if so please add:

I personally would not switch do to the fact that your snake may grow accustomed to eating hamsters and when you try to switch back to mice/rats it may not desire them as food.

Yes, VFT has a very sound point there, and this is a risk you will face that I should have mentioned. I was just speaking from the nutritional point of view.
