Vitamin Supplementing Frozen Food...???

Charlotte Mar 09, 2004 12:27 PM

Does anyone do this? If so--what do you use and how do you do it? What is the importance of it?

I don't do it--but am thinking about starting...
Thanks!

Yeah, I started doing this some time ago, like with every other feeding or so. I first used liquid bird vitamins.. put a drop or two on the thawed rodent. Later I went to the powdered vitamins.. sprinkled some on the thawed rodents belly and back.

Is it necessary? Don't know. Has it hurt my snakes? Not yet. I'll say one thing, the colors of the vitamin-fed snakes seem enhanced. It could be my imagination of what I want to see, but it seems like the vitamins made the reds more outstanding in boa tails.
