Gerbils are not a good idea. Many balls, if fed gerbils, will not switch to any other food item and you may be stuck finding gerbils for the rest of that snakes natural life.

Well she took a live mouse tonight, within about 2 seconds of it coming near her. I'll keep her on these until she fattens up a bit. Thanks for the advice everyone.

ya, rat pups are about the same size. You can always try alot of things before you feed gerbils, and the only time you resort to force feeding is if the snake is massively underweight.

Yes, rats are good, but I'm going to stick with what she'll eat for a while before I try switching her again.

Since she is now taking live, I honestly don't think it will take you long to "reswitch" her over to FT.


Glad she is eating again!
