Please, please, please, oh for the love of heaven please DO NOT get your snake eating gerbils!!

I made the mistake of going down that road with a stubborn super pastel. Was the WORST mistake I ever made.

Finding reliable sources of gerbils for feeding was all but impossible, so I decided to try breeding them. Not only do they breed slowly, they have very small litters and take forever to get big enough to feed. Save yourself the months of frustration and aggravation and hair tearing out and just make the spoiled little brat take rats. Unless this is a baby ball, it can go for a VERY long time without eating, and sooner or later I can almost guarantee you she'll take a rat. My super pastel did after a 7 month battle over who hard a harder head, myself or her.

ASF's are supposed to be like a drug to balls, they supposedly attack them with a vengeance and then refuse anything else. However, all but two of mine have no idea what to do with an ASF. Well, since my ASF colony is doing very well and I've had it with rats that don't get eaten and then get too big to feed, eventually my stubborn little monsters are going to figure out what an ASF is for.

I wish you all the best, but I cannot recommend against gerbils strongly enough.
