Smell different?

See thats the funny thing he was on mice when I got him I switched him to rats no problem. Then he freaked out on a stunned rat and wouldn't eat for 2 weeks so to get him to eat I gave a gerbil and now he's hooked on the tasty little buggers :lol:.

I have read here their is one other person on the forums whose Ball eats a gerbil diet. So my question still is are they a vaiable food source for both of my snakes? Meaning will a Cali King eat gerbils?

Just skip the next scheduled feeding and then go with gerbil-scented rats for a couple of feedings and you should be back to rats.

Ditto on what Marla said.

Sooo where do I get a bottle of "gerbil flavoring"?

At the neighbor's. Ask for their used bedding and toss the rat in it for several minutes before feeding, or just let it thaw in a bag of used gerbil bedding (assuming they're not using pine, cedar, or redwood bedding).
