I have 5 colubrids, and was recently offered a trade of day old chicks for a BP hatchling that I have for sale.

I am one of those carmudgeons that does not like switching up BP prey, but I know my colubrids are garbage disposals and I assume they would feed on them if given the chance.

Has anyone had success feeding colubrids chicks before and do they take them with consistency?

I checked out the nutritional comparison chart at Rodentpro.com and other than being lower in ash, they are quite similar to an adult mouse nutrition wise (and yes, I know there are not studies specific to colubrids and what they require).

Any feedback appreciated.
