Trying to think of a nice way to say this...but that's not very good advice...I think there's a little bit of sarcasm in there, though.Originally Posted by MelissaFlipski
If you want to give your BP some dietary variety, try gerbils. Then you can ask how to get the BP off of gerbils before you go broke.
Ball pythons are imprint feeders and don't need any "variety" in their diet.
They get all the nutrients they'll ever need from a diet on one type of rodent prey.
Switching things up on them, including the type of prey, is not a good idea with ball pythons. Some handle it better than others (I have a bp that will eat mice or rats any time, any place), but it is generally a better to find one thing that works for you, whether it be mice, rats, gerbils, or elephants, and stick to it.
