Frozen Day Old Chicks 1kg

High quality, bred at certified hatcheries in the UK and EU, these make for a great food option for Snakes, Large Lizards, Exotic Mammals and Birds of Prey. Provide your snakes with a more varied diet by offering more unusual prey. Chicks each weigh roughly 30 to 50g.

In nature most snake species have a varied diet consisting of small mammals, birds, frogs, lizards, etc; rather than being limited to just rats or mice. Chicks are a great way to increase variety in your animals diet. They are also a good at encouraging feeding in stubborn animals as they have a different scent to rodents such as rats and mice.

Frozen Day Old Chicks are a great food source for all sorts of carnivorous animals, such as snakes, birds or prey, exotic mammals and large carnivorous lizards like Monitors. These frozen chicks are an unwanted product of the meat and egg industry. Chicks can be sexed at hatching and the majority of males aren’t required, previously these all went to waste but now they are sold as whole prey items for all sorts of animals.

Care Instructions: 
Please note all frozen food should be defrosted thoroughly before use. Defrost frozen food naturally at room temperature on newspaper or kitchen towels away from food, food preparation surfaces and equipment. The prey can be warmed up in warm tap water, this helps to initiate a feeding response in many snakes. DO NOT defrost in boiling water or in a microwave. Always wash your hands thoroughly after handling raw or defrosted food. Always disinfect all surfaces that have come into contact with the defrosted food.
