Breeding African soft fur rats as reptile feeders can have several benefits over using other common feeder rodent species. African soft fur rats are a relatively easy species to breed, requiring minimal space, food, and care. They are also known to have a higher reproduction rate than other rodent species, which means they can be bred more efficiently to meet the demand for reptile feeders and are also known to have less oder.
In terms of nutrition, feeding African soft fur rats to your reptile can have several advantages over more commonly used feeder rodents like mice or regular rats. African soft fur rats have a higher protein content and lower fat content than other rodents, which can promote healthy growth in reptiles. Additionally, since they are not commonly used as reptile food, they can be a more novel and interesting prey item for your reptile, which may help stimulate its natural hunting instincts.
