Newborn F/T Guinea Pig?
Hey folks, help me out here - I keep guinea pigs (not as snake food but as a small business - I do not have snakes large enough to eat large guinea pigs anyway and I love them too much to feed the babies to my snakes).
Anyway my female GP (guinea pig, not green python) gave birth last week and one of the babies was born dead, but was perfectly formed, still warm when I found it...so I washed it off and wrapped it and put it in the freezer for Julius (my BP), but my sons think this is a bad idea  . What do you all think? Should I give it to Julius (he can certainly manage it just fine, he is over four feet)?????  |

Once in a while it wont hurt. I wouldnt make it an all the time thing. When a baby dies here and there wont kill the snake.

i heard feeding a a GP to a ball python can cause problems with getting the ball to switch back to rats or mice. not too sure though, i only ever fed mice rats rabbits and pigs.

a baby would probly be fine, on adults the hair is too coarse and hard to digest and they are extremely high in fat which is bad for your snake, just stick to rats and dont take the chance

Thanks very much all of you - I have decided not to chance it, it seems that the negatives are overpowering the positives! So I'll just bury the little dead GPig.
Here's a joke - took some snakes to the petting zoo at the dog show here yesterday, and you should have heard some of the commetns and questions about my albino corn: "Is it poisonous?" "Does it sting?" "Can it fly?" "When are you going to put it back in the sea?"  |
