Are Gerbils Good For Snake Food?

Just wondering if anyone has bred gerbils for snake food and if they as nutritious?

Still pondering on whether to breed mice or rats for the snakes.... what about gerbils?

Saw some of those African rats at the pet store the other day.... What about breeding them?

If I decide to build a snake rack, I will have lots of aquariums to use for breeding food for my babies... I have three snakes right now, two Corns- one adult and one baby, plus a baby Ball Python. It's not bad now as I purchase the snake food at the store where I work and I get a discount. Not much, but it helps.

What all do you feed your rats and mice? Wouldn't it be that the better the food, the better food your mice or rat will be for your snakes?

How long does it take for a mouse or rat to grow to be the proper size to feed an adult Corn or BP?
