Answer 4

In the wild red rat snakes tend to be opportunistic feeders eating pretty much whatever they can manage to overpower everything from mice and rats to birds, lizards and sometimes even other snakes. So keep that in mind when feeding your corn snake most of the time they do fine on appropriately sized rodents be they mice or rats but chicks can be offered from time to time as can eggs.

Answer 5

Stick to pinkies, then move up to fuzzies and then hopper, and then adult mice as he grows, they can in the wild eat anoles and even quail eggs, but it is cheaper and less confusing for the snake to always eat mice, either live or frozen thawed will do, three of mine will eat frozen thawed but the big one who is almost 6 feet will only eat live, he can eat 3 small mice or 1 small rat every 10 days, he is 5 years old and is very tame and happy on his rodent only diet. You can feed a baby every 3 to 5 days to power feed them and they will grow faster, snakes dont get bored with their food and need variety like cats or dogs do. Enjoy your corn, they are very cool snakes and he will live a long time.

Answer 6

I would stick to mice only. Lizards are primarily their diet as a baby, but they hold large amounts of parasites. All dietary needs are met with mice. Pinkies are low in nutrition and as soon as I can get them transitioned to something larger I do. Cornsnakes do not eat crickets! The exoskeletons will kill them. If they could find nothing else in the wild, I suppose they would eat insects, but usually lizards are in abundance when baby corns hatch out.

Answer 7

"Corn Snakes have a diet primarily consisting of rodents, mostly mice and rats, but they are proficient climbers and may scale trees in search of birds and bats. As litters of infant mice are difficult to find in nature, many neonate Corn Snakes are known to eat small lizards as their first meals, and Carolina anoles are the preferred choice.[citation needed] Some individuals retain these dietary tendencies well into adulthood. Pet Corn Snakes are usually fed by their owners on a diet of commercially available rodents, predominantly mice, though larger specimens may eat rat "pups"."

Corn Flakes, Corn Dogs, Cornbake, Corn Meal, and Corn Holes

Answer 9

You should stick to mice or rats. You can feed it hampsters or something like that as a treat but not all the time because they cause diseases when fed too often like fatty livers.
