Pinky mice vs. Pinky gerbils?
So I wanna know from you guys, Is there a nutritional value difference between feeding pinky mice or pinky gerbils to bp or chondra babies? Should I be picking one or the other? :confused:
Re: Pinky mice vs. Pinky gerbils?
Gerbils are okay for a BP but they tend to get "hooked" on them after having them for a while and it will be hard to switch them back onto move if you ever can't find gerbils or something. I would go for mice as well, but just on a side note: pink mice are far too small for a BP, even a hatching, though I think they would be ok for a chondro baby ( I'm not a big chondro expert)

Gerbils are way too expensive. Like was stated earlier, ball pythons often get an imprint of a certain prey and will only eat that. You don't want a ball python that costs about $10 to feed once a week.
I had a problem feeder a few years back that I fed a gerbil once per a suggestion that a gerbil will often get them back on feed. That worked, but I quickly switched back to rats.
I as well like to start with rats, and stick with them.

I need to add a lil something in here, I kinda left a lil something out. I do know pinkies are waaaay to small for bp babies. Sorry guys :rolleyes: I was just curious as far as the nutritional values. I should also have added on this that I raise both gerbils and mice. I'm just really curious of the nutritional values.
