    Good. Dear, hello, although snakes have teeth, but do not have the function of chewing, their teeth are just "grasping", fixing the prey, and then slowly staggered left and right to send the prey to the deep mouth of the function, and there is no chewing function. And this is also what people usually say about snakes swallowing, rather than eating food, and "swallowing" can more vividly say what snakes look like when they eat food.

    How snakes play.

    Of course, daily contact with pet snakes can also be a good way to enhance a sense of trust and confidence between themselves and snakes, when the pet snake is comfortable in contact with the keeper, the keeper can take the pet snake in the room and walk around at will. However, after all, pet snakes belong to cold-blooded pets, and it has no sense of obedience, so when playing, the keeper still needs to be careful not to be bitten by pet snakes.

    Thank you. When playing with pet snakes, the keeper's movements should be consistent and gentle, and be sure to avoid sudden attacks. At the same time, if the pet snake is entangled in your arm or neck, you must not panic and pull the pet snake, the keeper should relax and gently grab the tail of the pet snake, and then slowly untie the pet snake.

    Dear, I'm glad to answer for you: how do snakes eat; Snakes mostly hunt in a passive way, hiding and waiting for the prey to enter their prey range and catch it with a surprise attack. Snakes mainly use their mouths to hunt for food.

    Non-venomous snakes generally rely on their sharp teeth in the upper and lower jaws to bite their prey, and then quickly use their bodies to entangle or press the live prey to be more slender and then devoured. For example, after a python wraps its body 2-3 times, the heart stops beating and the breathing stops and dies.

    Predators often crawl slowly to approach their prey, quickly bite and wrap their bodies around them to death, flatten them into long strips, and then secrete saliva to lubricate and swallow the food.

    Snakes catch prey, regardless of size, and swallow it without chewing it. This way of swallowing snakes is mainly due to the special structure of their jaws. The mandible is made up of two large parts that are independent of each other, and these two parts can move alternately.

    In order to eat better, the snake opens its mouth wide and bites the prey while erecting its front body, and then closes the upper and lower jaws, allowing each upper and lower jaw to rotate in turn. If another animal comes to attack, it will immediately spit out the food it has swallowed and flee.

    Snakes have a strong appetite and eat a lot of food, usually biting to death first and then devouring. The mouth can change depending on the size of the food, and when encountering larger foods, the jaw shortens and widens, becoming a film that tightly encloses the food. Snakes swallow food whole, digest it through gastric juice, absorb what can be absorbed, and spit out bones and fur that cannot be completely digested through the mouth.

    To get a raised snake to eat, you must first figure out the type of snake you are keeping and its recipe. In terms of eating habits, snakes can be divided into narrow snakes, partial snakes and wide snakes. There is another article about the eating habits of snakes, which will not be repeated in this article.

    What I want to say here is that no matter what kind of snake it eats, when hunting, it will choose food of moderate size and familiar taste according to its own size, original wild or breeding environment, and sometimes even the color of things is also very picky. Individuals at different stages of growth often have different eating habits. For example, most small migratory snakes that prey on rodents, with geckos and lizards in the larval and sub-adult stages preferred.

    When we get a new snake and understand its eating habits, how can we successfully feed it? There are often reptiles who complain that they know what to feed the snake, but the snake still does not eat, what should I do? Here is an example of feeding rodents and talking about how to feed snakes.

    1 Food and snakes can be put into a small box, so that snakes can easily find and catch prey. Be careful not to use a very transparent box, which will make the snake nervous;

    2 Don't eat too much, a smaller food can increase the snake's confidence in predation and help digestion; For example, the ball python is very sensitive to the size of mice, and it is too big to eat.

    3 If there are several snakes, they should be fed separately. When some snakes are several together, those who are timid and neurotic will feel nervous and refuse to eat;

    4. Mice and wild lizards can be mixed in a small breeding environment for a short time, and the mice will bring the taste of lizards, which is very attractive to some snakes and king snakes; This method is effective when rearing larvae for feeding.

    5 If there are no lizards, you can go to the reptile shop and ask the owner for the fresh skin of the lizard there to retreat, or a piece of the tail that has fallen off, and rub it on the mouse, which is also good.

    6 Some snakes are afraid of the smell of adult rats, so they can wash them with mild soap and rinse them with water repeatedly.

    7 For individuals who have been nervous for a long time and refuse to eat, there is a way to try it one last resort if it is still able to drink on its own. Give the snake water for a few days, soak the freshly dead mouse of a moderate size in warm water of about 32 degrees for an hour, and then give the soaked mouse to the snake, and the snake will drink the water from the mouse, which will arouse its appetite and eat the mouse homeopathically. However, this method requires the keeper to understand the hunger and thirst tolerance of different snakes, and it needs to be reminded that the smaller the snake, the worse the thirst tolerance and the easier it is to die of dehydration.

Budgies prefer to eat millet in shell, and although they can eat rice, they don't like it.

In addition, to ensure that budgies get enough nutrients in their diet, keepers can also prepare some foods such as fresh greens and inorganic salts. >>>More
