I agree about the sausages. I have a six year old Ball Python that I've had since she was one month old. I've never had trouble getting her to eat until this past summer. She ate one adult mouse in March and then I could not get her to eat another one until August 8th. I took her to the Vet twice. They checked her and didn't find anything wrong at all. She showed nothing different at all in her behavior or routine. She just would not eat. I was getting frantic that we would have to have the Vet force feed her. That is something I *do not* want to ever do. I had actually been considering trying something much like the sausages myself since I would know what was in them and all that.

I think the sausages are a great idea to be able to have for any species of snake. Especially the ones that go through phases like mine did. Toward the end of August she started eating normally again. It was very odd and worrying to me. If I had had snake sausages that had clean, healthy ingredients and vitamins to try and feed her with, I would have breathed a little easier with just one of those in her belly rather than the one adult mouse she did eat.

Well done with your recipe too. And I agree about them looking good - until I read the ingredients. LOL...
