If i remember right, Gerbils are closer to their natural prey and for some reason most snakes can't resist them, but they are expensive and small so rats are a better long term option for our pockets but there is nothing stopping you feeding them Gerbils long term (or mixing the diet with all the available prey types).
It may just be a snack during a fast too, they do eat on occasion during fasting so don't be too disappointed if he turns his nose at the next one but its always good when they eat so cong-gerbil-ulations. |

If he will eat gerbils every time you could try them as a scenting tool for rats. If that works it will mean you can feed him the cheaper rats!  |
