I agree with Hugsplox ^ ^ ^ & incidentally, BPs love hamsters* too.But as with gerbils (& ASFs), that makes feeding your BP FAR more costly, & typically the BP may refuse to ever switch back to rats or mice; plus, hamsters tend to be less "lean" (not sure about gerbils) so they may promote unnecessary weight gain in a snake. (*I used to raise hamsters to supply local pet stores, so I had a surplus- that was back when I also kept BPs, as I no longer do. FYI, I didn't make a habit of feeding hamsters to the BPs I kept- I mixed up their meals, as I raised rats & mice too back then, but I can vouch for their ready acceptance of hamsters.)
