Re: My Friend Wants To Breed!! | | Adorable, I know that you may find it odd for me to be against feeding pigs but okay with feeding mice, and I am fine with that. I have had pet mice and loved them till the day they passed away. I would have never been able to bring myself to feed them to a snake a food.
Mice/ rats are commonly snake food, in and out of the wild. Yes I know a pig can be eaten by a snake and more than one has been in the wild, they are not common prey for snakes. As such is it fare for us to impose our beliefs on a snake? They are carnivores and many have a main diet of small rodents. I will not ignore that fact.
Fact: A infant pig is much larger than a infant mouse.
Fact: Infant mice are the optimal size for captive snakes sometimes (although rarely) lasting years, and in some smaller breed snakes a lifetime.
Fact: Fuzzies (or fluffs) are still smaller than a infant pigs,
Only a fully grown snake could eat an infant pig with out risking it harm.
We try to replicate food sources ect. for our pigs, why not do the same for a snake?
