An unfortunate situation

[kibakiba]

We got some money from a friend (I'm not sure if he wants to be named ) And with it we bought some chicken hearts. They were a little expensive, but almost all of my snakes took it without hesitating. Mama took it with some tricking... Snap and Ember wont eat it, but I'll try scenting. It took just a chicken heart and a half to feed everyone enough

Woot!! happy to hear it.

I was really happy to see all of my piggies stuffed and happy! The only one that didn't eat was the new baby. I think the hearts will last me until mid december, and I'll have money next month, so luckily things will be going great from there (I'm very hopeful that it will)

That is so awesome to hear Chantel!

Good news there, it's always good to see a happy update. I may have to try ours on the chicken hearts if they went down really well.

Everyone ate, even got Snap and Ember to eat some with a little fish in their dish

Tilapia seems to be fairly inexpensive - a lot cheaper than salmon at least.

I've heard people complaining about how expensive it is. When I was still in WA I could get a lot of tilapia really cheap. Now I'm SoCal and it's extremely expensive!

I know you mentioned the heat situation already but that's the best option I can suggest, is to cool them way down. Northwesterns are very cold-hardy. Other than that, if they will eat chicken (only the very lean muscle from thighs or legs, soaked or rinsed in hot water first) is OK. I would avoid breasts. They are most likely infused/injected with salt water. In any case, be sure to use just the lean meat and rinse or soak thoroughly to remove sanitizer which is always used on the surface of poultry.

I know you got food for them now already and that's great. Just adding info to the conversation.
