Can I buy live mice for my snake?

Your best chance at buying live mice is from a local pet store. Franchise pet stores may carry live mice for snakes, but they're less likely to have an adequate supply than a private store. Some snake owners complain that the corporate pet stores rarely keep the size of rodents they need in stock.

Does Petco sell live mice for snakes?

The first shock came when I noticed a large open wound on the face of a small white mouse. Immediately informing my supervisor, I was told not to worry about it because the animal was “just a feeder mouse.” PETCO, you see, stocks live mice and rats to be sold as food for “pet” snakes.

Are pinkies good for snakes?

Feed baby and young snakes “pinkie mice” (the smallest size mouse) and increase the size of the food as your snake gets bigger. As a general rule, the prey should be approximately the same diameter as the snake. Feed young snakes twice a week and mature snakes once a week.

How long should I leave a pinky mouse in with my snake?

About 24 hours is the max. Usually only overnight though.
