    Flabby retic?
    Roughly a few months ago, I fed my "dwarfish retic" a small rabbit; she handled it quite well and I decided to let it pass. (http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...thout-problems)

    Fast forward since the start of October however, I felt that she is flabbier than usual; she still feeds and disposes her wastes regularly and apart from her "flabby feel"; she's pretty much okay. I "tested" her by feeding her live chicks and she still could constrict them without problems.

    Am I just being a bit paranoid here? Or is the lone rabbit bound to make her "fat/flabby" when she's used to a diet of rats/multiple chicks? thanks

    The rabbit has much more "meat" on its bones than rats and chicks. Not sure if just one feeding would make a differance but after a few you will start to see she is more solid.

    If anything, the rats are making her flabby. Rabbits are lean animals with little to no fat.
