What can i feed my baby cornsnake aside from mice?

My baby cornsnake is out of food and because of where i live, i have no way to get him food for another week!! he's already gona a week and a half without food and i'm really worried. Can i feed him an aquatic frog; do i need to kill it first? can he eat any vegetables? what about a fish?What can i feed my baby cornsnake aside from mice?
No, cornsnakes only eat rodents. And never feed anything you take from outside, it could carry parasites or poisons. And snakes are carnivores only- as in no vegetables. Some snakes will take quail eggs, but if you can't get mice I doubt you can get those, and he's probably too small to swallow one. You'll just have to wait it out. Or, you can order frozen pinkies online and have them shipped to you. I used to keep a stock in my freezer to prevent running out.

Snakes, esp. Cornsnakes only need to be fed once or twice a month. I assume you were feeding it frozen mice because it is a baby; if they're out of those feed it live mice. If you cant get ahold of those, cornsnakes will also eat small goldfish. What you do is get a tiny tiny bowl no more than an inch shallow and about 2 inches wide. Put tiny tiny baby goldfish rom the pet store, about ten cents each. get about 3. put them in the cage and see if he eats. You can also put them in the waterbowl. If none of that is avalible, dont sweat it; they can go a while without food. But it will not eat vegeables and do not feed it frogs.
You run a high risk of giving your snake parasites if you feed wild caught foods, especially frogs and lizards. Your snake can wait. I would order frozen mice online so that you have a quantity. If you've gotten an animal and you have no ready resource for food, you shouldn't own it! If you had frozen/thawed, they can be stored in the freezer for each feeding. They are shipped overnight so get going!
wait to get mice, i'm sure your snake will be fine, they can go a long time with out eating and in the winter, they eat even less because of the cold.


One of my corns is very picky, I don't think he'd ever look at an aquatic frog or fish as food.. and they definitely don't eat vegetables.
Nothing. Don't try and feed it things it doesn't want to eat.
u cant feed it anything else unless its a baby, a really small one you can feed it frozen baby pinkies!!


btw pinkies are baby mice
