🍽️ Noções Básicas da Dieta do Cobra

Whole Prey Only

Snakes eat whole animals that provide complete nutrition—bones, organs, and all.

Frozen-Thawed

Thaw frozen prey in warm water. Safer than live prey, which can injure the snake.

Prey Size

Feed prey that is roughly the same width as the thickest part of the snake's body.

Feeding Frequency

Juveniles eat weekly. Adults eat every 10-14 days. Large species eat every 2-4 weeks.

🆘Se Seu Pet Comer Algo Tóxico

1. Mantenha a Calma

Anote o que foi comido, quanto e quando.

2. Peça Ajuda

Controle de Venenos da ASPCA: 888-426-4435 ou seu veterinário.

3. Não Espere

O tempo é importante. Não tente remédios caseiros primeiro.
