feeding my ball frozen cickens

its okay to feed my ball pythons frozen chicken? my mother doesn't want to have frozen rats or mice.

Are you asking if it's okay to feed frozen chicks or actual chicken parts like from the grocery store?

I know rodentpro sell frozen chicks and I have heard of Chondro people feeding chickens and other birds (i.e. finches). Give it a shot if that is what is always available. I know mice and rats are hard to come by in your country. Just make sure they are properly defrosted :D

In my experience .... pythons + fowl = nasty greasy runny slimey poop!!! ... YUCK!

chicks

I don't think I could deal with slimey poop....the regular stuff is usually bad enough...ha ha.

So Adam, you have fed pythons birds before?

She will dead chicks...but not mice or rats in the freezer?

Just for you new guys out there. Ozone is from Cyprus and he has trouble getting rodents in his country so he is looking for a something different to feed his snakes....right Ozone?

I was watching a show on tv the other day and they were feeding a young reticulated python with pre-killed quail. It was from England.

ha ha....I can only imagine...

Correct me if im wrong, but isnt there a risk of salmonella if we feed fowls?

Snakes carry salmonella as normal gut flora, and eating raw meat such as chicken(although the results are gross), is perfectly fine. The meat isn't processed yet, so it hasn't had the chance to build up harmful levels of the bacteria anyway.

Church's anyone? ;)

Yup, this has cleared up my urge for a late night snack. :D And I prefer Popeye's, thank you. ;)

Popeyes....you guys are making me hungry...and it is almost bed time....ha ha

Yummy greasy fried chicken. *drool* Dang that does sound good. Biscuits too! *drools some more* Or Krispie Kreme doughnuts....yum....nice and fresh and hot! Okay now, I'm hungry too! :hungry:

yes i can find easy rats and mice in my country but my moher doesn't want to have frozen rodents.

ok go buy a mice or rat and kill it your self and then feed your snake

i feel gor ya ozone i had to buy a mini freezer and keep it in my room just my mom doesn't like mice(she is over it now lol) but i would do wut doobysnack reccomended. just kill the rat and bring in the house and feed it to the snake.

I would probably do that too, just because a freshly killed rat or mouse, is less messy in my opinion than raw chicken. :)

Completely agree,
I still remember when we fed one of our burms a twenty pound (pre killed)turkey.
Besides it not being pleasent to watch, it was definetly up their with regurged rat smell when it came out the other end. So unpleasent.

The raw chicks aren't bad. We fed those to the hawks, owls and other assorted fowl at the sanctuary. Chicks internalize the egg yolk and live off that for awhile after being born. Learned some interesting stuff working there.

This is what he said in his original post.

Heh - a LOT of people i know have dead chicken and cow in their freezer - folks have been totally normalized to it - but these same people may react a bit more unfavorably to any rodents sharing that same space ;)

Why? I still don't get it?

-adam

But isn't he talking about whole chickens? Like the ones you buy from RodentPro.com? Or was he talking about chicken you get from like, Wal-Mart?

Ok, the person that made the post asked if he could feed his Ball Python frozen chicken, because his mom didn't like having frozen rats and mice. I replied back and said:

So that is why I was quoting what Ozone had originally said...but it doesn't really matter anymore.
