Are you saying you know what a rat/mouse scent is compared to a gerbil scent?Originally Posted by COLDBLOODED262
oh so you know what an african scent is compared to a mongolian??
the main difference between african and mongolian gerbils is their size not cent. that is like saying a brown rat smells totaly different that a white rat
Gerbils from Mongolia are so different from ones in Africa, they decided to make them different species! Wow!
Sarcasm aside, if you want to feed your snakes a gerbil, that's fine for your snake.
Many people that have snakes cannot afford to buy gerbils, and in many places cannot own or feed one off in case the snake refuses to eat rats after being fed a gerbil.
Rats are cheap, readily found across the globe, and therefor are a much more practical solution for feeding.
Working with a BP to find out why it wont take a certain food type is more important than just switching prey items.
In extreme cases where the BP is visibly losing weight, then I think that would warrant extra measures, but it shouldnt be the first option to try when a BP is refusing a couple of meals during Winter.
