Well I gave my adult male a chick for tea last night, first time he's had one and he ate it in record time! No hesitation. It went down faster than a rat, until he reached the 'hips' but he managed it fine, sorry no pics I was too busy watching as the big feet disappeared.
I've read that it's a little more stinky when it comes out the other end so not looking forward to that, it was a nice change for him and at only 15p they are a cheap meal!

Yeah, I didn't think she'd get stuck so it didn't cross my mind to break it o.O |

Multi's are like a cross between a mouse and rat Scary, they may even have albino ones just for you.
SW I believe if you break the hips/legs of the chick first it's easier to swallow, I may try it if he gets to have another. |

I've only ever given a chick to Luna, she got stuck at the hips so I lopped the legs off and gave them to the baby king XD Honestly didn't notice a difference when it came out the other end, made a nice treat for her. I've thought about trying quail chicks in future, since they're smaller she might not get stuck o.O |

'Little bit stinky' is an understatement! |
