i have two female dum's, they are not that quite interested in eating almost ever unless i bother them with a mouse until they get mad enough to grab and kill it, then eat it. i understand this is not safe or healthy, i am tired of trying to do this just so they can be in good physical shape. i have read alot of forums about dum's, i understand they like baby quails. 3 questions..
1. Can my dum eat quails alive at the dum's age of less than a year?
2. Where can i find baby quails? I've tried to look for them in pet shops but nobody has them.
3. A former co-worker told me that i would have to rip the quails beak and feet off so i wouldnt harm the snakes stomach? Is that true.
also are there any other strategies one could use to get there appetite up, ive heard of the shoe box method but i dont wanna leave the mouse in there too long, they'll eat my snakes if their not hungry.
