can i feed my bp drawf hamsters?
well, suddenly last week there has been an increase in mouse prices "dont know why!!!" however. the price went from 2 bucks to like .....
ummm 9 bucks!! .. even 10 .. only 3 places that sell mice over here
i was wondering if i can feed it drawf hammies .. they r the same price now. but i think the drawf hamster is alittle bit larger than the mouse
since i have to pay for two mice "small ones" there are no big ones .

i would think you can and have seen it done from someone else on this website but remember, if your bp likes it too much, it may never go back to anything else.

Re: can i feed my bp drawf hamsters?
The only thing to consider is that your BP may decide he ONLY wants hamsters, and will not want to take a mouse or rat again. If you decide to feed hamsters, make sure you have a reliable long-term supply.
$9 is ridiculous.. you could always get a few rats and breed them yourself.

Re: can i feed my bp drawf hamsters?
If you feed hamsters once....be prepared to feed them every time. If your ball python eats mice now, why change and risk it not eating?

i agree. if they are both about the same price, why take the risk? if mice happen to go down again and the hamsters stay up, you could hve to pay more than you want if your bp decides not to take mice/rats again.

This is how I see it. 9.00 to pay for a meal a week is worth it. Yeah, paying 2.00 then 9.00 is insane but, its only a once a week, or 10-14 day meal. So it could be worse. Haha I always say its cheaper then feeding myself, or a kid! I'd stick with the mice.

Where do you live? At $9 a mouse what are rats $20? If you do decide to feed hampsters be prepared to feed them to your snake from now on.

Re: can i feed my bp drawf hamsters?
For $9 a piece those mice better be poopin' out gold turds!!! I only pay $1 a mouse at the place i go to, and have NEVER seen them for sale at more than$2.99.....and I think that price is ridiculous!!!!

I would get your BP on FT as soon as you can and then order some micesicles off the net. Three weeks of regular feeding would equal the amount to get about 50 mice shipped from rodentpro.
