First off ignore all the ones telling you to take them back to Africa . Those are the ones that for lack of intelligence or what ever are not capable of dealing with a wild caught animal . It is really simple just study the natural habits of a wild Ball , Make the enclosure as close to there natural habitat as possible , hides with a top access and a darker than normal environment , a night time temp drop is a must and the best thing as for as pray is the African Soft Furred Rat . And you can find breeders of them online but it is best to bye 12 females and 4 males and breed them your self ,when breeding the rats you would not wont to clean the cages as often as you would other rodents this is a hard thing to deal with as the smell can get intense to say the least but it will make them irresistible to the wild Ball . This is just a starting place for you all the rest depends on the circumstances and you can E-Male me any time for advice . Thank god everyone didn’t give up on the first Balls to come out of the wild or we would be missing out on all there companionship . A TRUE Herper can meat any challenge including raising wild caught reptiles with research and the help of those that have been there before them . So be patient and do your research and there is only one dumb question and that’s the one you don’t ask . David of DS Reptile Rescue , Removal & Rehabilitation
