    Do any of you feed baby chicks to your ball pythons?

    i am running low on rats and mice but i have a ton of baby chicks that i feed to some of my picky venomous snakes. wanted to know if it is safe to feed baby chicks to the ball pythons until my rat order comes in next week.

    I don't personally feed off chicks, but I know some owners who do. Just make sure the size is correct for the animal.

    Chicks are perfectly fine. I know it's not the same but I feed them to raptors all the time without issue, since their diet closely mimics that of BPs.
