So I was having problems with Rambo (my ball python) eating the past few winters. This winter I tried something new; I tried feeding him a gerbil after a few unsuccessful attempts with rats and mice. My husbandry is fine, I have had him for 4 years. Every winter he seems to go off feed, which I know is normal. But this year I have had him eating bc of the gerbils. Now here is my confusion -- I was able to find ASF's...but he won't take them. Do you think this is because he has "imprinted" so to say on gerbils? I only did the gerbils bc I read they were closest to ASF's. Then again, it is winter and he has been eating, his skin is getting ligher, so he's most likely going to shed soon. Obviously there are a lot of factors, but let me hear what you think. Are the ASF's useless at this point? Also, I am able to get Gerbils and ASF whenever I need, I found a new connection. I bought 4 ASF, 1 male 3 females, to breed but it is pointless if he won't eat them...
