Kenyan Sand Boas and Food

[pureabsolutevoid]

I'm wondering if Kenyan sand boas will eat insects, if it is good for them, what types I can feed it, and how often I can supplment their diets this way. Thank you!

If its like a smalllllllllll baby I'm sure crickets wouldn't hurt but I still believe pinkys are better. Hope I helped

You can feed very young sand boas crickets with no ill effect. I highly advice against it because the simple fact is that crickets cannot compete with a mouse in terms of nutritional quality. They are known for eating small lizards in the wild, so that's a way to add variety.

You could also feed them fuzzie legs if they are that small.

I'm not sure if they would eat crickets. My Sand Boas can be very picky at times. If they go off feed for a couple of weeks, I have to start them back off on live mouse pinks.

Good info and care here:
