Snake Sausage?

[crepers86]

Has any one heard of snake sausage

I just can't see this happening I love the line

"developed specifically for meat-eating reptiles, and is a preferred diet for those who dislike feeding their animals either live or frozen mice or rats"

I just don't see any ball python eating this stuff. I see a picture of a gaboon viper with on but I still can't see it happening. I also heard its cost is higher then feeding a rodent to your snake like it should eat.

Right... because a beef sausage is nutritionally the same as eating a whole rodent.......

Plus there is no way I could see most snakes having any interest at all in eating this.

Also according to their instructions you only heat them up to room temperature.....

my mind is blown!! wow. (I'm in the process of feeding my bp's) All of them ate. I'd hate to waste money on these, and have to throw them out, cause I ain't eating them haha.

They've been around for a while. I've heard that they are expensive comparatively speaking, but have heard that at least some colubrids will successfully feed on them. I wouldn't think beef would be any more or less nutritionally valuable, because other than that snakes eat protein, we don't know their nutritional requirements.

The best way to describe what is going through the snakes mind when you offer it one of these can only be shown by the meme :

What? Why? Because processed foods are always much healthier than raw foods?

I am so sick of people trying to impose our disgusting eating habits on our pets. Just because we eat way too much way too often doesn't mean we need to impose the same on our pets who have no choice in the matter.

I believe it was Petsmart that pushed these when they first started selling snakes (corns) years ago. They weren't big on selling snakes that ate rodents so they required them to be fed the sausages and told the customers that's what they ate. Needless to say, I had plenty of customers come into the store I was managing at the time that couldn't get there baby corn snake they bought at Petsmart to eat. How shocking that it usually only took one attempt with a pink to get them going.

Yeah there's a thread on here somewhere that was started not long after they started marketing those. I know none of my snakes would want that. It's ridiculous!

How gross! I would never even consider feeding those to my snakes, and I'm pretty sure most snakes wouldn't take it. Rodents are fine with me.

After reading this thread I had a quick chat with some of my problem feeders and they said don't bring that snausage near me, lol.

But for real... I would never substitute my rats for some sort of processed sausage. And if pet owners are not okay with feeding their snake a rat or mouse, maybe they should have chosen a different pet, just my 2 cents.
