okay I tried really hard not to post here but the level of stupity of this idea is just not going to go away. Bp's eat rats or mice mainly or other things in the wild I'm shure they will eat gerbils hamsters and shuch all small furry rodents though if your just looking for a cheap or free food source shure u can find one in the type of prey item that bp's eat. The most important question to ask yourself when feeding your bp is what's best for it to eat. As the owner and the human in the equation your greater evolutionary development gives you the ablity to ponder these ideas on what may or may not be an alterntaive food source for your Bp, as a mental excersice they are fine but thats where they should stay.
