i was wondering if store bought frogs, tree frogs or fire belly, would be able to be fed to a snake. i dont remeber if fire bellies are poisonis or not, and i seen a vid. on youtube.com of a pacman frog eating a white's tree frog (i think it was a white's) and i was curious if these frogs, or any others, could be fed to a snake since they like a varied diet.
Answers:
Yes they can eat frogs. However, frogs, toads and lizards all carry huge amounts of parasites and you would end up having to treat the snake for those. Feed commercially grown frozen/thawed mice. They are safer and will keep your snake healthy.
I tried to feed my boa a toad before, but he wouldn't eat it, I would just suggest feeding him or her rats, or mice depending on the size. I have also heard that snakes like gerbils a lot.
Stick to rats and mice. They have all the nutritional value needed for a snake.
Gerbils, rabbits, etc cause a fatty liver.
Frogs, I don't know exactly what problems or nutritional value they have, but they certainly aren't part of a King Snake's normal diet.
Try not to mix things up for your poor boy.
yes of course... even a garter or a rattle snake! They eat all sorts of things!! Even squirrels!
NOOO!! sorry but i have frogs!! and the tree frogs cost like 20 bucks where i live! thats like feeding buying a dog and feeding it to your snakes! no offense, but don't do that!! stick with it's normal foood
