ASF vs Gerbils? NEED HELP!!

[Awaiting Abyss]

Oh, I see. So for larger snakes, you mean? Therefore, its no problem for a snake such as a hognose to eat mice.

It's a cost issue. One live large ASF or small rat per week to feed one of my ball pythons runs about $1.50 from my local rodent supplier since I don't breed my own. The equivalent meal of large mice would cost $5. The difference doesn't sounds like a lot until you multiply it by 52 weeks per year, plus you have to hope the ball python doesn't decide it's full after eating just one live mouse.

Right, I have a couple mousers. Sometimes they will only take one, then other times they look at me after a few and I swear they are thinking "really? That's all you got?"? Lol
