    Ball python feeding

    I was wondering if I could feed off baby rabbits?

    Re: Ball python feeding

    I would say that would be a bit to big, also balls tend to imprint on a certain species that they reguard as food so the chances of a refusal are pertty high. A small rabbit would be good for a blood python though.

    Re: Ball python feeding

    Is there anything besides rats/mice, because they stink. I say this because I want to breed their food source

    Re: Ball python feeding

    FYI rabbits stink too..atleast when you have a lot of them. Pretty much any rodent in a large enough quantity is going to stink, but if I was you I'd look for more info on ASFs, I've heard they are cleaner and less stinky than rats/mice.

    Try African Soft Furs, they're the ball python's natural prey in Africa, and apparently they hardly smell at all.
