Balls fast, that's what they do. Why mess with that by bringing a rat indigenous to Africa for your CB ball that's never seen, smelled, or tasted one? Seems a bit extreme, might as well switch to gerbils or hamsters (easier to get, cheaper, etc.)

I did agree to that statement up until yesterday when I posted my message. I think instinct has a big role in this. I may be taking it to the extreme a little, but how do they know they don’t like beef jerky as their food? If that’s all you offered from birth would they eat it? What if you only offered them tofu? Would they eat it? No, they would not. This bringing me to the idea that using a native rodent from their area would be more readily accepted as food then says the common rats or mice we use here.

Thanks,
