Study on the Palatability of Corn Snakes to Artificial Compound Feed
To grow more efficiently and reduce the disease generation of corn snakes,accelerate the feeding rate of young snakes,reduce the situation of snakes not eating,further meet the increasing demand for corn snake pets in the market,reduce the cost of feeding,and expand the audience and breeding range.Four groups of controlled experiments were set up to study the most suitable shape,size and odor.The feeding observation was carried out,and the characteristic indicators of feeding rate,feeding speed and reaction rate were measured and recorded,and the data were compared and analyzed.The average feeding rate and feeding time of oval feed were the highest(88.75％and 79.22 s),the average feeding rate of food weighing 16.5％was the highest(95％),and the average feeding rate and reaction speed of suckling rat odor were the fastest,which were 90％and 1.46 s,respectively.Experiments have proved that artificial compound feed can improve the feeding rate and feeding speed of young snakes,which provides a feasible choice for large-scale corn snake breeding and individual small-scale breeding.
