    a rodent only diet??

    do adults grow out/lose interest in Insects???

    I have a male B/W, i love the reds and was considering a female red. If i find a red female, and she was suitable for breeding, and all conditions were right etc etc............... Is it possible to breed a B/W and a red? If so, what is the colouration of the young? If not, why?

    What Do Ya'll Think Is The BEST?
