It's not just cow versus rodent (although I think that is important nutritionally), it's also the organ meat, bones, and hair that contain vital nutrients and minerals. Snakes need the whole animal for full nutritional value.

The Intuits were able to survive almost entirely off meat (whereas the Europeans quickly got scurvy without fresh fruit, a commodity lacking at the North Pole) because they prized the organ meat (chock full of important nutrients) and gave the nutritionally worthless steak cuts to the dogs.

I have pet rodents, mice, hamsters, gerbil, rabbits and I love them and they are quite spoiled.
But that is not a reason to feed my snakes something that is not natural! My snakes will stick with their rodent diet and they will thrive and grow!
Look at the obesity rate now, everything we buy has additives and junk added to it. Young kids have diabetes now...

List of fails on this page:

1. "Never feed a snake in its shedding cycle" What, are the sausages going to attack him because he can't see/attack them quick enough?

2. Third ingredient "Beet pulp" I hope this is a typo, but even if it is WTF is beef pulp?

3. It does not contain meat byproducts... Ok, so it doesn't contain the things a snake needs to survive.

4. ...or grains... That's right, it contains beet pulp instead.

5. Also contains flaxseed meal. Isn't that a grain?

6. Chlorine chloride, something something chloride, and other stuff I can't pronounce and put into my swimming pool.

P.S. I am reconsidering the hotdog I just ate...

It's not just that, its that Americans aren't eating real food anymore. When I was a kid my mom cooked dinner every night, went to the grocery store and came back with some lettuce, flour, spices, steak, etc. The problem is that people aren't actually cooking anymore, they're eating... Hell I don't even know what the stuff is. These things wouldn't be a problem if real food was available at a reasonable price and people actually got off their butt and cooked something edible.

Idk why none of you guys can get your snakes to eat these. Mine all love 'em. I just sprinkle some MSG on them and they all gobble them down and beg for more. Y'all must be doing something wrong:rolleyes: I usually give each of them a couple French fries afterward. :D
