    Balls Eating Rabbits???

    So I was at my local mom and pop petstore today and was talking to this guy there about his bps. Anyways eventually the conversation migrated towards talking about feeding. He said he had some bps that ate rabbits! I thought he was joking so i asked him if he was still talking about balls just to be sure... He said yea I have some females who are like 4 feet long that put down rabbits no problem. So my question is would this even be possible or was he yanking my chain? I mean even if a bp could eat a rabbit wouldnt it have to be bigger than 4feet? I would picture like a 6 foot 5,500 gram monster female maybe being able to do that...

    My uncle had 2 female bps that were huge, up almost in the 6ft range, its been years but i'm sure I remember him feeding rabbits on occasion...if you ask me though the price of a rabbit is more them 2-3 lg rats. I'd feed the rats over a rabbit..lol

    Maybe small small small rabbits or rabbit kits.
    Definitely not a food grade rabbit. Those are huge!

    If i had the space and time I would breed rabbits over rats for my breeding female BPs.

    When snakes get on rabbits their growth jumps into overdrive.

    Yea idk i just figured a rabbit would be expensive so feeding multiple rats would just be better i guess. I still have trouble believing a 4 foot ball putting down an adult rabbit so im guessing he was talking about small rabbits.

    Hi,

    Definitely possible.

    I remember someone posting a picture of it on here before.

    I'll try and find the thread.

    My big female was at one point in her life feeding small 'bunnys' not really rabbits but 300-400 gm range. I am not breeding her like the guy I got her from so she has been returned to large rats. She is 3700gm and 5'5".
