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!

If it smells that bad I'm not sure he'll be getting another, I'm just trying something other than rats to help keep his weight in check. He won't eat mice.
Does anyone want a bag of 24 chicks.........going cheap..............sorry! |

| 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 |

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. |

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