Something else than mice

I hear somewhere I should feed my snake worms and grasshoppers once or twice a mouth. Is that true? Do you people do that?
 
You should feed mice. Corn's need the calcium. Bugs don't have enough nutrients for corns. Corn's get all the nutrients they need from mice.

There are only a few snakes that eat bugs and worms. Corns may eat them in the wild more out of feeding response to something moving or out of desperation for something to eat. Mice, rats or chicks are better suited for them. I wouldn't suggest the bugs or worms.
 
smaller snake's eat worm's and bug's like garter snakes etc, I wouldstick to mice or do what i've started doing and alternate a mouse and a chick for an adult corn and stick to mice or smaller rat's till they can take chicks.
 
Ok, thank you.

Two people told me to feed my snake that stuff, for extra nutriments, but, I didn't know if I had to trust them.
 
If you want to give your corn a little extra nutrient, purchase a good reptile vitamin/mineral suppliment to sprinkle on the mice every few feedings.
