    Piglet feeding question
    Just a random question that I been always curious about. Some people say that feeding pigs is more messy defecations compared to bunnies and rats. How is it more messy? Is isn’t solid and more liquidly? Thanks!

    my guess would be, without any research, more dense tissue matter, harder/longer to breakdown, more time rotting in the guttyworks, etc

    I think it has more to do with suddenly changing up the snake's diet. If you feed rats to a young retic or burm all the time and then switch over to piglets, guinea pigs, rabbits, chickens once the snake needs a larger meal than a jumbo rat, their digestive systems won't be used to the different type of food and you get a difference in the "output".

    I've fed piglets in the past, had a friend that bred small pigs and I never really noticed any difference but it wasn't in a regular rotation either. My bigger snakes have eaten a variety of prey and everything comes out equally grossly ime.
