Feeding BP hamsters?
I have a 6 month old normal ball python and my parents have decided to buy a male and female mouse and breed them and use the baby mice as feeders for my snake because in the long run, it's a lot cheaper. (We haven't bought them yet, we're waiting for the cages to come in)
So I was wondering if you could also feed ball pythons baby hamsters? (I know not to feed them adult hamsters because they're more aggressive than rats and mice and could harm the ball python) I was thinking about getting 2 male and female hamsters and breeding them and just using the baby hamsters as feeders for my snake. If possible, I'd keep very close watch on them so that nothing goes wrong. I've also heard that hamsters have more fat than mice/rats? If feeding snakes hamsters is wrong then I'm just going to use mice. Thank you

Re: Feeding BP hamsters?
Is that a fact that Hamsters are more aggressive than Rats !?
For some reason I imagined Hamsters being rather sluggish in comparison plus I thought they had rather poor eyesight ( aren't they nocturnal ?) ....

Very bad idea
1# they are like crack so once they start eating them chances are they will not switch back making it an issue if your supply runs out, or you have to rehome your snake.
2# They are more aggressive, have longer teeth and basically have a lot more fur than meat.

I thought that rats would be more aggressive than hamsters as well, but everyone else is saying that hamsters are more aggressive
