Hi,

Some do.

I have a female that would crawl over a mountain of rats and mice to get to an F/T day old chick.

But you can buy those easily enough to have a constant supply.

The problem is people have long reported runny, smelly poo's when feeding only chicks. I have fed them as occasional treats ( mainly to the above snake ) but wouldn't be comfortable offering them as a major part of the diet.

It's where the feeding tip of dipping in chicken broth comes from I suspect - though I'd have thought dipping in egg yolk or simply rubbing with a chick would have been less expensive and all around easier.
