AFRICAN SOFT FURRED RATS

[ReptileKid]

African soft furred rats what is so great about them they are for sale everywhere???

[APBTOwner]

I have a buddy that breeds them.

To the best of my knowledge, they are what Ball Pythons mainly eat in the wild.

I know his Ball Pythons love them. I know a couple of others that feed these to their Ball Pythons too.

Other then that, I really am not sure.

do you think a snake could become hooked on them? and not eat regular rodents

[The Snake Guru]

From my understanding they are also easy to breed, and "smell" less than your everday Lab rats. That and they seem to be a good choice for a "trigger" food for fussy eaters.

It is a possibility that a snake could get hooked on them, especially if it were a BP....other snakes would most likely be able to be weaned off of them.
