feeding gerbils?

[severe_bomber]

Gerbils are not from Africa. The gerbils in the pet trade are Mongolian gerbils. BP's do love them but they are not their natural food source.

Yep. Apologies.

Didn't know about the African soft furred rats til reading on here. Not to mention shrews!

Also read mention of "striped mice" (whatever they are!) so perhaps their more akin to their natural diet than thought...

I'm quicky discovering there's a lot of duff info out there regarding snakes tho, so who knows! I should just stick to this forum and scrap the rest....
