    Feeding chicks???
    Does anyone feed their ball python on baby chicks? I had a supplier tell me that a lot of people do because they are higher in protein than rats and much cheaper. I can get 25 for $10.

    its possible and makes sense.

    the only real issue is: how easy or hard will it be to switch the BPs, will they eat it or refuse it?

    It's ok to feed chicks. But because poultry have hollow bones, they don't have as much calcium as rodents.
