Gerbils?

[Minkness]

So I see alot about mice and rats, chicks, quail, rabbits, and a plethora of other meal options. However....what about gerbils?

I have been thinking about starting my own feeder colony and considered rats and mice as a 'pet' that would produce food for my snakes. However, I would love to have gerbils instead!

Has anyone done this? If not. Does anyone see an issue with this? How prolific are they? Would a 1.3 be too much, or not enough? Any difference in nutrition? Any cons?

Thanks for any feedback! (Hehe...get it? Feed back...-snorts- )
