If your snake is eating mice/rats with no problems, then just stick to them. They get fed alot more in captivity than they would in the wild so there really isn't a need for 'snacks'.

You dont get as much nutrition out of chicks tha you do mice, and its alot of hassle cutting the beak and legs off, anyway are you planning to feed these to a corn? because chicks are massive

[robin charlton]

mine is a bit 2 small 4 chicks but later iol use them as snacks

Snacks???? Why would a snake want a snack??? In the wild some snakes dont eat for nearly a year because they can survive without, if you feed your snake properly it shouldnt need snacks

Chick doesnt give as much nutrition as a mouse

Jesus christ, they aren't supposed to 'grow faster', it's not a competition or race.

Power feed them, and you risk all sorts of health problems for the snake, including an early death.

Let it grow at a natural, steady and healthy rate.

also would it be difficult to get it back onto mice and rats after feeding chicks
