Sas has now not eaten for nearly 3 months so I have decided to give multis a try. Problem - where do I get them from? I live in Kent so somewhere close would be ideal. I dont fancy getting them in the post lol.

They are also classed as a Royals version of chocolate, but as i`ve stated before they can be very addictive.

Few reasons I believe. Firstly, until relatively recently they were never available to the pet trade as food over here

Secondly and most importantly (if not slightly selfishly), they don't get too big. Hence breeders/keepers who want to add size to there snakes, went with rats

A multimamate, otherwise known as an African soft fur rat (ASF for short)

Why do you think that a 3 month fast is a problem? Be careful with multis as Royals can quickly become addicted to them.

Just did a little search and came up with this
Price don't look to bad either

Thanks peeps
Evolution Morphs Posted - 30/10/2012 : 20:21:48
I'm sure there is somewhere that sells then
Try posting on the feeder section on the Darkside
There's bound to be someone in the know on there :)

Good luck

The shop I use normally has them. But he is in Dagenham
coxcats Posted - 30/10/2012 : 20:16:01
Ive tried smaller rats and mice. He just isnt interseted. Boris hasnt eaten for about 6 weeks either. Little Ria is putting them to shame!
Evolution Morphs Posted - 30/10/2012 : 20:13:23
Hard to come by usless you know of a online supplier that sells them or a breeder near you

Have you tryed mice ?

I sold all my multis as I didn't want to start feeding multis and them only wanting multis
I've started feed a few of mine on mice and after a could of mice feeds
I start rubbing the mice on the larger rats and 9/10 times they will strike the rat

delivery may be your only option, they're pretty rare to come across
