In an effort to be as “cruelty-free” as possible in caring for my Cornsnakes, I’ve completely eliminated rodents from their diets.
Instead, I’ve taken to adding live brine shrimp to their water bowls on a daily basis. I can raise them myself for next to nothing, and I feel much better knowing that no animals were harmed in order to feed my snakes. My snakes love it, and they now spend a good part of the day getting exercise by constantly roaming the cage and “fishing” at their water bowls for their little shrimp surprises!
Their weight loss has been dramatic, and I've never seen so much activity out of them. They must have just been weighed down with all that food they had been getting when I was feeding them F/T mice.
