No not that sort lads.Bought some chicks today as i thought i would see if they like them for a treat now and again but they look a bit big,has anyone else gave their adult kings these,was recommended to remove the beak and feet though as they can be sharp.I was suprised by the price too,only 25p each |

I dont like the idea of removing the feet, but if they look sharp cut the toes off. |

It's easy, we tried chicks when the boa weren't feeding. What you do is defrost them then go scweemish and blag your other half in to doing it for you
Failing that sharp knife clever stylee does the job, it's not actually as bad as you'd expect no blood and guts spilling out or anything especally if they're still a bit frozen when you do it. |

Same reason I dont like giving cooked meat to animals. Why change the way they would eat it naturaly?
Taking the toes and beak tip off seems fine, but I wouldnt chop the lot off. |

Some birds feet and legs are brilliant, when you cut the legs off, you can pull the central tendon and it makes the foot open and close. |

Nagini loved chicks - They are okay as a treat but some snakes can get addicted to them and won't touch mice. It took us a long time to get nagini off chicks, but at the time she wouldn't eat anything else.
Some advice, chicks make snake poo extremely messy and runny, maybe too late |
