corn snake diet

22 15:27:08

Question
I do not own a snake but I like them very much. I also like small furry mammals so feeding them mice and such will be difficult, especially because i have 3 dwarf hamsters and love them very much.
I read somewhere that corn snakes eat eggs to, but I recon they can't live solely on that.What else could they eat?

Oh, I couldn't buy frozen mice even if I wanted to.Thy can't be found where I live (not U.S)

Answer
Hi Erika from Romania! It would be very difficult to keep a corn snake going without feeding them rodents. They might take an occasional egg but if you have no source of rodents, I would not advise getting one. They will eat any small furry critters (hamsters, gerbils, etc...).
