Corn snake sausages

Interesting. They don't provide an ingredient list. I would want to know the ingredients BEFORE I bought such a product.

Problem. They show them being fed to an iguana. Bad, bad, bad.
 
They do provide an ingredients list...


'meat and meat derivatives'


Doesn't that satisfy all of your questions? :rolleyes:
 
This is my favorite line on that page...

"With Snake Steak, "power feeding" is possible by offering several sausages linked together."

Whew...good to know!

:crazy02:

Q
 
"All prepared diets are of human consumption quality, although designed as animal food,"

So I guess people can eat them, too! Oh yum. :puke01:

Frankly, I wouldn't give my snake anything other than rodents. It's kind of sketchy that it says "Meat and meat derivatives" as its ingredients. That could mean anything. Maybe it's HUMAN FLESH! And then your snake will think your a sausage and eat you! =D Hehehee.. Okay, I'm done being silly.

In all seriousness, I suggest emailing T-Rex and asking them for a list of all the ingedients.

At the very least my fiancé (yes that's right everyone..the sucker proposed the other week!!!!) knows that he shouldn't go rumaging in the bottom drawer of the freezer, but if someone were to go looking for something to make for lunch and happened across some cute little cocktail frankfurt sized sausages with no 'warning, may contain rat flesh' label attached...they might go ahead and fry them up....then complain later that they were a little gristly!!!

Also, when you buy whole dead frozen mice, you can see what you're getting to a much greater degree than if you buy a 'mystery bag' as my dad calls sausages. There's no saying what source provided the dead animals that went into the sausages, what they were fed, if the meat contains drugs or antibiotics....I'll stick to mice in the unprocessed form!
 
These seem soooo sketchy... meat derivatives LOL.. I know in hot dogs "meat derivatives" include: intestines, colons, rectal tissue, brains, spinal cords, veins and arterial tissues, epidermal flesh (doesn't say "hair free" flesh either), hearts, other organs (like gall bladders and spleens) and genitals. Yum yum yum! *offers everyone a hotdog* Personally... if I wouldn't eat it, neither will my snakes... and yes.. I would eat a mouse or rat... if I had to... I'd cook it first tho =P

GRATS Princess!!!!! :cheers:
 
Strange question. What if you could make snake food yourself? I was looking at some snake sites randomly and i came across a garter snake site, the owner of the site has devised and used a snake food for several years based on the snakes diet, fish, although he uses fish much larger than what a garter snake can eat and guts it. (he puts vitamin supplement). So i was wondering if you used something like rabbit meat which you can buy for human consumption in the recipe to adapt it for corn snake. Just an idea, i feed my snakes mice generally, tried rats but they're fussy. :crazy02:

Here's a link to the guys site.

This is thread is quite old, but besides that, I just have to ask, why? What's the point? I supposed if you were really bored and had nothing better to do, you could play around with things and create something. I don't think something that had just muscle mass to it, like human-grade rabbit meat, would be good enough for snakes, because they get their calcium from the bones of their prey. And muscles don't have bones, last time I checked. And rabbits are not a natural food for corns. No corn would ever get big enough to eat even a baby rabbit.
 
i was just curious if it would work 'hypothetically' if you added calcium and vitamin supplements etc, since the guy form that website used trout or whatever which no garter snake will ever get big enough to eat. Sorry if my asking offended anyone, i was only curious. It'd be useful/interesting to know even if i never put the theory to practise.
