A Hypothetical Question
DISCLAIMER: This is a hypothetical question. I would never try anything like what I'm about to talk about, ever, and don't suggest anyone else does. Please don't post messages like "DUN DO DAT" because I know not to. I'm not an idiot. /DISCLAIMER
I was talking with a breeder friend the other day about some people suggesting he feed something other than rats (because rats are too smart, it's cruel, etc.) Anyways, the final joking suggestion was that he feed sausages. He remarked that his Retics are such voracious feeders that they probably would eat sausage.
So here's my hypothetical question. Do you think snakes could live on sausage?

Re: A Hypothetical Question
What kind of sausage? Rat sausage?
Pork or beef sausage would be too fatty, I think.

Re: A Hypothetical Question
I think the theory was pork or beef sausage. Chicken or turkey might be leaner?

Chicken sausage will still be fatty. And then there's all the spices and stuff added.
I've read stuff where people have fed raw meat to their snakes, I remember one was raw gizzards. That's not going to be nutritionally complete tho, maybe as a very occasional snack. But not to live on.

Re: A Hypothetical Question
Don't they make sausages for snakes?
They could probably live on them for a while I would think, yes.

Re: A Hypothetical Question
No..
Snakes require the bones and hair in their feeder items in order to maintain proper health. Feeding them something other than that doesn't give them the calsium and what not that they would need..
Unless you made them out of whole ground up roadents bones, brains hair and all.. everything but the squeal.
