You're right....that was the Aussies only choice up until about 10 years ago. That's why I said keepers are just now starting to see the effects of feeding rodents to their BHPs over there. But, in general, BHPs will live a shorter life span on rodents and have more reproductive problems than they will on their natural diet....farmed rodents just speed it up several years.
