Rattlesnakes consume mice, rats, gerbils, squirrels, rabbits, small birds, eggs, and other small animals. They subdue their prey quickly with a venomous bite as opposed to constricting. The venom will immediately stun or kill typical prey. Rattlesnake venom can kill in 20 seconds, but a rattlesnake will follow prey that does not quickly succumb to the venom and attempts to escape. Rattlers are known to strike at distances up to two-thirds their body length.

Diamondback rattlesnakes eat mice, rats, and other small animals they squeeze them to stop them from moving so they can eat them whole.

Rattlesnake are Carnivores. They consume Mice, Rats, Small Birds and other small rodents that inhabit the habitats they live in. They play an important ecological role by limiting the size of rodent populations in their ecosystems. Rattlesnakes lay motionless for their prey and kill it quickly with a venomous bite. Even if the prey is lucky enough to run off, it will die soon and the Rattlesnake will follow the scent and then swallow it. They are on top of their food chain, but they have some animals like the King Snake on top of it.

A rattlesnake's diet mainly consists of small rodents such as mice and rats. Victims are usually bitten once and released to allow the venom to act. After a few seconds, the snake will seek out the victim through its scent trail. Once found, the body is swallowed whole - usually eaten head-first. You should not let a puppy go near one!

Rodents make up the bulk of a rattlesnakes diet, such as: squirrels, mice and rabbits. Rattlesnakes usually lie and wait for there prey to walk by and then they strike. They do not eat their prey right away though. They have venomous fangs which pierce their prey and they wait for the animal to succumb to the venom.
