hello. first i would like to thank Rob Reiding for the gerbil bedding i appreciate it. ok here is the dilema. my WC ball python wont take scented rats or mice, uber stubborn. so my question is, will i have to drive to reno to get an actual gerbil? also will fussy eaters like this take baby chicks? thanks in advance.

I don't know how long you have had her,but the 0.2 i bought last year took about 3 to 4 months to eat their first meals (Which was a mouse for one,and a rat for the other).

Good luck

Hi Justin;

You're very welcome as far as sending the Gerbil bedding goes. There is more where that came from and it took me several tries with scented fuzzy rats. Still two of the BP's have not eaten since last October, but I offer them a scented fuzzy rat, small rat, or mouse weekly. The two non eating BP's have not lost any significat weight, so I'm not too concerned and just leave them alone as much as possible. Since I live in Florida what has helped me as well as far as feeding response goes was just to close the airconditioning vents and open the windows during the daytime.

Rob Reiding.
