Can you feed a ball python degus?

Dont immediately knock the guy down, honestly i thought about the same thing cause the size is perfect for a 2500 gram female. I then thought about the whole list of cons and decided against it, but they are basically a guinea pig/gerbil mix and they bite HARD. It would just do more bad than good.

i have 2 guinea pigs!!

Once again sorry for the attitude. I just dont want to hear of someones BP getting the crap bit out of it or the owner not being able to get the snake to eat rats again.

I should of said if it aint broke dont fix it. I like to keep a routine with my animals and a different food type could be a big headache.

Sorry kaorte also. In my area people are getting puppies, kittens or whatever else that is free off craigslist and using it for snake food. I just dont want a pet to be fed to a snake.

ElwoodG I am sorry too. I feel bad now as I should for all this.

When you sell/give away an animal, unless the receiving person signs a legally binding contract, you lose all rights to the animal. It sounds harsh, but it's the truth. When you sell/give away an animal, it's part of reality that it could wind up dead or it could have a great home. That's why it's the sellers responsibility to be thorough. Ask questions, even go to the future home. In the end, if you sell your baby rabbit to the first person who comes along, you really can't whine or complain if they use them for snake food.

Raptor I understand what your saying. I dont like the idea of people being cheap and feeding pets to snakes. There always will be free animals on craigslist and people take advantage of it and that is wrong

Pretty much all the prey items we feed to snakes are pets to someone. It's the owners fault for not researching the buyer. This goes for anyone. People selling snakes, dogs, cats, horses, cows, etc.

Its all good bman, no hard feelings on my part. i like it when people are honest with me anyways i don't like to beat round the bush so i hate it when people don't tell me like it is. i respect it and appreciate it. don't feel too bad, i didn't get upset, and i do understand where you are coming from and to an extent i agree with your point of view.
