hey lynne, i understand that's more difficult to get live prey, which is why i would say, if you've got the space breed ur own rat's so u'll always have live prey! but it still doesn't explain fot me why u would say that it's worth trying everythong before ive feeding. the only thing that's worth giving a shot in my eyes is breed ur own prey

The trouble that I have heard about gerbils is that once they are on them, they are hooked like a junky with a 10 bag. Therefore if you are gonna put them on gerbils, make sure you will always be able to get hold of them for about 30 years or so

i fed two of mine a gerbil each two weeks ago, just to see if there would be a differance in strike etc. they took them great. then went straight back onto rats the next feed.

josh, i would say that cos he has feed before you , i wouldnt be in too much of a rush to fed him and leave him for a lease a week before you try again (as most have subjected)
then soure smaller food items and give those a try.
BTW where are you  |
