Instructions
Feeding a hatchling Corn Snake
Remove the hatchling snake from its cage and place it in the small plastic container. This will help the new snake focus on its prey.
Place a pinkie mouse in the container with the snake. The mouse should not be larger than one and a half the girth of the snake's mid-section.
Wait for the snake to strike. Corn snakes are carnivores, so they should only be fed meat. Most snakes will not mind eating pre-killed mice, so buying frozen mice and then thawing them before feeding time is ok.
Feed the hatchling snake every 5 to 7 days. Once the snake is an adult, it can be fed every 10 to 14 days.
