A Hypothetical Feeder

I'm kinda curious if tribbles would make good snake food (or large enough carnivorous herps in general)? In case you don't know what a tribble is, It's an animal from Star Trek that look like literal rabbit sized balls of fur that breed like if aphids and rabbits could breed together on speed. They'e already kept in check by reptile on their homeworld so earth reptiles might like them too. Let's say for the sake of argument that tribbles are perfectly edible to earth reptiles and the tribbles are humanely gassed, decontaminated of any alien parasites or disease, vacuum sealed and frozen on a facility on tribble's homeworld( you do NOT want a live one on earth), and shipped to earth. I can just imagine the number of people keeping snakes with an easier alternative feeders than rodent or rabbits (for some people at least), And the number of klingon herpers as well ;).

Yeah, they also love unicorns and leprechauns

I think only a titanoboa could fit in a unicorn, Also what kind of leprechaun are we talking about here, 1-2 feet tall or the Warwick Davis kind ;)? Anyways, By the time i remembered to put a disclaimer that this was a purely hypothetical thread that i made for fun, I already submitted it and I wasn't able to edit it. Of course I know that tribbles are a fictional creature from a tv show, I just thought that people would catch on that this obviously wasn't a serious thread and play along.

Although I have no clue what a tribble is, I played along too. I'm very aware that unicorns and leprechauns are fictional as well. :D

I don't think they would be good feeders at all.

They have no noses so how does the snake work out where to start swallowing???

Sorry, I thought that you were thinking that i was completely serious and decided to make fun of me or something with the leprechauns and unicorns reply(your reply to my post on the Any Reptile thread didn't exactly help as i was only trying to have fun with that thread). As I described in the OP, Tribbles are critters from Star Trek that look like literal balls of fur, Here's a vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bprgl_4z6gY&t=5s . I hope we'd cleared thing things up.

The more narrow end that's sticking out of the coils of course. I also said large carnivorous reptiles in general, You could also just toss them to a crocodilian or big monitor lizard.
