    Hamsters ?

    So, my boo(bp) won't eat f/t. I live in Alberta, Canada and live rats are illegal to own, and is considered a rat free province. I just learned that ASF's are legal :/ but I live at home and my parents REFUSE to let me breed them or even bring them in the house. So I was thinking, it would be fine to feed hamsters? I haven't heard of it (n00b) but was looking to find more info

    Help?

    I would not feed hamsters. What about mice?
    Also what ways have you tried offering the f/t? and how many times have you tried?

    One guy here does breed and feed hamsters to his ball. But I wouldn't recommend it. They get expensive fast. And the snake might get addicted to it and not take other prey after that.

    NO WAY! It gets way expensive. Also, try mice. Hamsters can get addicting and are bred to be cute, fat, and fluffy. They can cause your snake to become obese.
