I had hundreds of balls....some ate JUST africans, soame ate JUST mice, some rats, some gerbils etc etc etc...some get hooked due to MY letting them get hooked....some...alot actually...will eat anything you give them.....always....here.,..they didn't like anything frozen....I fed live for 20 years....do what you gotta do...

africans.....average...17 babies every 23 days...they need protein....they like a varied diet....they will bite if you are in THEIR house.....you would too....they grow ok , not real fast....I had a couple 20 gallon long tanks with like 100 pulled weaned ones in each for growing ....they do not stink like rats or mice...BUT if you have hundreds of them...they do stink...fecal matter is fecal matter.....they chew anything...and will use a bottle or anything they can climb on as a toilet......sometimes...you can give them a bowl and they will use it ....usually they go anywhere....

......good luck.....I loved them....
