Food Deficit

Question
I have two baby corn snakes, they are about a foot long each, and roughly the diameter of a standard Sharpie marker. Our only local pet store is out of pinkies, rat freshies, and dwarf hamster freshies. Our snakes have been getting aggressive from the lack of food, and I fear they may soon try to eat one another. Is there an alternative food source that I can get for them to get them through until the pet store has a new round of births? (both of these snakes have been raised on live prey and will not eat dead...I've tried) Please help out as soon as possible...thanks!!!

Answer
The only other food source I can think of would be a lizard from the pet store. This would probably be a bit expensive, could give your snake parasites, and might also give them a preference toward lizards. So I wouldn't recommend it. You might also try minnows from a bait shop, or perhaps even small strips of fish from the supermarket. I've used catfish before to scent pinky mice for stubborn feeders. I've never tried feeding them a small strip of catfish outright, but you never know, it might work. Otherwise you'll just have to wait on the pet store.

You might try ordering some frozen pinkies online, and try scenting with catfish like I mentioned. Your life will be much easier if you can get them switched over to frozen.
