Okay, so I've had my BP for 6 months now, and shes still doing fantastic. I love her and wanted to get her a treat since my local feeder supplier had a deal on gerbils, 2 for $12. So I got a rat and a couple gerbils.
See, this was my initial mistake. Since I cant get to my supplier very often, and don't deal with breeding myself, I always buy 4-5 weeks of food at once, feed one when I get home, then take care of the rest until their time is up.
This time, I fed the rat, and put the gerbils in the cage.. and omg... I just... these damn things are cute. They're still likey to get fed simply because, well, in a week or so that rat is gonna be done and my snake will be hungry....
But I still find myself regretting this and considering keeping them.
Anyone else encounter gerbils manipulating them with their cute behavior?
