    What do you feed?

    Curious to see what everyone else is feeding their big guys. And what reasons do you have for feeding what you do. If you choose other, please explain!

    I feed my burm piglets now, and plan to toss in an occasional rabbit just for flavor. Obviously the piglets are F/T, Rabbits will be PK.

    Not really a giant, but I also feed my BCI piglets.

    Re: What do you feed?

    I feed my burm chickens and rabbits. First he gets a chicken, as it's the only thing he'll take F/T, then I'll shove a rabbit in behind that.

    My yellow anaconda eats Jumbo rats, guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens. She's not picky in the least. I haven't offered her fish, but I had a green years ago that loved trout...

    Really trout? Thats interesting I have never seen anyone feed fish to the big guys. I used to feed some of my garters fish, but that was years ago I had forgotten about that

    We feed all of our burms rabbits. They seem to get the nutrition and all that they need from them. After our females lay eggs we sometimes give them guinea pigs b/c of the fat content to help them get some of their weight back-laying eggs takes everything out of a female.
    Plus I get rabbits at a real good price!!!

    Theresa, I believe I actually have one of your burms! She is a beautiful albino burmese that I got from a guy locally who wasn't really taking care of her as she needed to be. So in a round-a-bout way, thank you for your snake. sorry I didn't get it from you directly!

    I've always used rabbits - my burms love them so I've never had to try anything else.
