One-day-old chicks (chickens) colorful / mix 1 kg — high-quality feed for snakes

In our Raw Petfood store offering feed for snakes, we provide high-quality frozen one-day-old chicks. Known primarily from the whole prey diet for cats and dogs, as well as food for hedgehogs and birds of prey, chicken chicks also find their place in the feeding of domestic snakes.

One-day-old chicks as feed for domestic snakes alongside mice and rats

Proper nutrition is crucial for maintaining health and good condition in snakes, which is why Raw Petfood as a feed store is interested in the composition of these animals' natural diet. Studies clearly indicate that many species of snakes in the wild feed on a wide spectrum of foods, not limiting themselves to the most popular feed animals, namely mice and rats. The natural diet of many snakes also includes birds.

Below we present a list of snake species that often consume birds in their natural environment, making one-day-old chicks an ideal choice for their nutrition. The participation of birds in the diet of these snakes is marked in parentheses (or range, if sources indicated otherwise). We hope this list will help in composing a varied and as healthy as possible diet for domestic snakes.

List of snakes in whose diet birds appear:

Boa constrictor Red-tailed Boa(40%)
Bogertophis subocularis / Trans – Pecos Rat Snake / Durango Rat Snake (17%)
