Whole fish.

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Does anyone know a non live safe fish species that can be fed whole to a baby snake?

Do you mean store bought dead?

[-MARWOLAETH-]

Yes

[guidofatherof5]

I've never seen or heard of anything that small for sale.
Then again the market might be different across the pond. Not sure what's available.

I can't think of any store-bought dead ones.. The only fish I can think of that could be fed whole to a really small baby are guppies.

You could use pond smelt if available (Hypomesus olidus). I've found them smaller and they're on the safe lists. Just chop up the whole fish into bite sized pieces if too big. I find a pair of scissors works great and is very fast if they're still frozen or partly frozen. Thawed out will be messy.

The sanfrancisco brand silver sides I have recently purchased have been pretty small- minnow sized rather than sardine sized. If that is still too big, slice them crosswise while still frozen.
my young butlers will steal fish with heads bigger than their heads from the bigger ones and wolf them greedily. No regurgitations so far.

Let's see...
Can Hermione eat it?

If you live anywhere near a fish farm you could try and get trout fry

I live in the U.K, and know of no fish either but it's always possible to source these things it just takes a bit of work.
