Hi all,
I�ve always fed my snakes with mice and rats in different sizes.
In the last few months I had problems with my rodent supply. And I�ve found a good source of day old checks from a hatchery nearby.
I wanted to know if my snakes wouldn�t suffer in the future from problems caused by lack of calcium.

I also found a good source of 12 days old chick, and I�m using them for feeding the larger snakes (these seem stronger and might have more calcium in their bones).

Any thought in that matter would be helpful.
Thanks.
Kith.
