Can corns eat hamsters?

yeah, You might want to stunn it first then freeze. And keep in mind that the rule of thumb is to feed a snake an food item that is 1 1/2 time the snake girth.

lol, just out of curiosity. How do you go about "stunning" the mouse? Just drop it in the tank from a high distance or something? lol I cought a mouse one time and stuck it in a little plastic jar thingy and shook the crap out of it, but I think that just killed it. (I shook it so I could give it to my cat and it wouldnt run away)

i just grab the mouse by the tail and smak it aganst the edge of a table

hehe , the image of a squeaky clean little white moose is now i my head and won't get out.

I've fed hammies to corns before. I usually co2 them, freeze them, then feed them. Be advised that the average adult dwarf hamster is too big a meal for the average corn, they are about the same weight as an adult mouse, but much wider. So you may be better off just giving them away. Are they friendly?

haha Carol. They are wider than the mice. But they can sure the heck squeeze themselves through smaller holes than mice! Yeah, they are really friendly. I just dont think I wanna drive to the petshop JUST to get rid of them when I have a snake sitting right behind me. You know?

There ya go bull. Just smack em on a table haha. Maybe you can spin them around in a circle really fast like you do cats then drop it in with snake? lol Does that work? Jk. I'll stun the mouse

Friendly hammies seem hard to come by. You may get the pet store to give you several mice for them. I wouldn't feed them off, it is likely they will be too big for your snake and the snake will either refuse or regurge (speaking from experience) you'd be better off trading them for mice. I also don't think hammies would be as easy to stun as mice. I've seen mine take quite a tumble and still keep ticking.

Almase,
I would heed Carol's advice. I just gave you options but Carol has more experience. I would rethink this.

Oh, these two are really friendly. They cost $10 and mice are $2 at that petshop. I think I might be able to get one mouse for each of them. They can take a tumble though. Thats true haha.

Ya. I really enjoy the several colonies I keep. I have some hatchlings that refused pinky mice, but will take pinky Dwarf Hamsters, so I keep them all year round and freeze most the pinks for hatchling season. I will feed off some of the younger ones to the corns but by the time they reach adult size they are too big. Then if I need to get rid of them I sell them if they are friendly and if not I give them to the larger kingsnakes or larger ratsnakes.
