My very first snake (Amy) is a hard core mouse eater, and a picky one at that. As of last year it was LIVE mice, and even then, she would eat maybe twice a month and not eat all winter. I found it very difficult to get big mice, and half the time she wouldn't eat them anyway. I dabbled in breeding mice, every time resulting in them eating each other (EWWWWW) even with lots of food and water around!
Anyway, I started breeding gerbils for the hell of it, and found that even though they only have 3-4 babies at a time, this is more than enough for Amy, and as of last night, she's a gerbil eater! I am SO HAPPY.
I know people say not to try gerbils cuz a bp can get addicted to them....... but that's fine by me! I have a great supply! Next time will try a F/T and from then on I'm laughing.
SCREW YOU MICE!
:p
Thanks for looking, just wanted to share.
