Feeding for baby Bull Snake

I was just wondering what they eat, seeing how i have come across one and it looks to small to eat any thing i have. Hes about 7-8" I can take a pic if you guys need it.

From what I understand, they are born large enough to take fuzzie mice.

feeding baby bull snakes

Sounds a bit small for a bull snake to me, any possibility it could be a gopher snake? You didn't say how you came to have the snake. anyway, any constrictor of that size can surely eat pink mice. Once in a while I find a reluctant eater, in that case I put some shavings from the mouse cage into a cottage cheese container and put a pinky in the shavings, put the container in the cage with the snake. Should work fine.

Pituophis can take meals that are up to 2x their girth. My baby bullsnake gets pink rats once a week.

If the animal was wc, you may have to try live first then slowly get it switched over to f/t.

no offense but I would highly doubt that is a bull or gopher snake. Even very small young of these snakes are about 10" at birth.

Also, bulls can take meals twice their girth, but that does not mean that they should.

If you have an 8" pituophis, it is a record for small size as Matt mentioned above.
