The only Russian dwarf hamsters that are available to me are at the pet store I work at and they are $20 a piece..Originally Posted by Bogertophis
I used to raise Russian dwarf hamsters (they're easy) and BPs (as well as some other snakes) tend to like them. Just don't feed live...even the
babies with EYES CLOSED will growl & bite. Never having tasted or tried using an ASF, I cannot say how similar they are (or aren't?) but just an idea.
I originally raised RDH's for a few picky snakes I had, but was so successful that I ended up selling the surplus to local pet stores: and nothing makes
them happier than hamsters that come with a temperament guarantee: I already culled the 'bitey' ones for snake-food, but if they got a hamster from
me that became a biter for any reason, I cheerfully & freely exchanged it for one that was cute & friendly. It helps to have an "outlet"...And
that way the stores never lost money on grouchy hamsters* that bit people & that they couldn't sell. A win-win!
