who has more body fat or fat period?

[psycho]

Why are you switching her food item? Are you placing human desires on an animal that may end up ONLY taking this new food? Given how most gerbils cost more money than rats and mice, and are hard to come by... sounds like foolish idea to me.

I really think it doesn't matter as long as the BP takes it...i changed my BP to rats and now when i offer mice it wont get them...which i really don't mind 'cause i can afford to buy her some...and plus more fat = more nutrients...

[matt71915]

wouldnt more fat= more fat....what nutrients are in fat? i think it would be more fat= weight gain

[psycho]

wouldnt more fat= more fat....what nutrients are in fat? i think it would be more fat= weight gain

but what is in fat besides weight...nutrients...

[matt71915]

yeah but i get the only thing that you would see from the extra fat is higher weight gain

[2kdime]

The only thing in fat is FAT.

Nutrients and GOOD things come from the Calcium in bones, Protein in muscle, etc etc....

The leaner a feeder can be, I would think would keep your snake lean and fit, and eating every week.

Like said before, it's best to just not switch prey items. I hope you can take some of our years of experience to heart, and do what's best for the animal.

thank you
pretty sure there are a few vitamins in fat too... then again they all have fat so what does it matter is some have a little more.

i was hoping the "having to breed gerbils for 20-30 maybe more years" would get him to change his mind

good judgement comes from experience, experience comes from poor judgement

First, settle down with the chest thumping.
