:eek: Can anyone halp me. I read snakes will only eat live food and then somewhere else that it's better to feed them frozen mice. Which is right?
 
It's best to feed frozen (thawed, of course). The mouse can't cause any harm to the snake that way. ALL of my snakes eat frozen thawed. The only time I feed live is if I have a difficult feeder...usually a hatchling.
 
Corns also eat snake sausages too (made by T-rex).

Not only does live food have the potential to kill your snake, it can also spread parasites and bacteria to your snake which also have the potential to kill it.

Also, frozen and thawed mice are easier to digest because the tissue of the mouse breaks down after being frozen and thawed (was in the cornsnake manual somewhere, but you can check there to verify if you don't believe me).

My corn will eat f/t I also tried to give her those mice sausages just to switch it up a little and she wouldnt eat it. Not really sure why but she had no interest in it.
 
you have to scent those sausages to work. T-rex mouse maker or lizard maker are the usual choices.
