Dwarf hamsters for BP ?

[Anatopism]

I'm sure that could work out for me but as i said people are not looking good to that idea =/
Just wanna know if feeding dwarf hamsters would lead to a health issue in the future.For ex. they are much more furry than a rat/mice, that would be a problem for snakes internal stuff in long-term? If not im ok with hamsters, they cost like 2 $ each

That's what I was going to bring up. Hamsters in general, especially the dwarf varieties, have a very thick plush coat compared to rats and mice. Perhaps if you can't get mice or rats, are there any species of gerbils, that might be more available due to location? They are likely to be more meaty and less fur and bones. Other than that, there isn't much you can do but to feed robos. At least robos have tiny tiny teeth (and I've rarely been bit by them... when I do, they never seem to be able to break the skin).

Gerbils do live in deserts as far as i know and we dont have a desert here infact im in the Europe part of Turkey so hamsters as pets and feeders is the most common around here. I will order 10-15 live pinky mice over internet from another city and freeze em up that will be less pricey for me, looks like i dont have any other choice if you guys are telling me feeding hamsters would lead to health issues in the future.

This is just a thought, but have you approached your local petstore owner and asked him if he would be willing to carry rats if he had a reliable customer for them?

Some will work with you if they know that they can count on a steady customer to buy stuff that they wouldn't otherwise carry.

I don't think robos specifically would cause health problems, it's more that when full grown they only weigh around 18 grams, whereas an adult ball python is going to be needing a meal between 150 and 250 grams or more, depending on the snake. that $2 a hamster is going to add up really really fast.

Ask the stores manager if they could order frozen rats/mice for you if you kept going to them for business. Also ask him if he'd be willing to post signs, etc, showing that they are for sell. That might bring in more business from the snake owners who want a better food for their snakes.
