    You don't have to grow them all the way out to 15 pounds. Something like a dwarf boa or a BRB will take a fuzzy.

    You could also sell the excess to people local who keep larger snakes. I have local farmers who are happy to sell me the stillborn lambs and goats for mine.

    You will deal with a few issue when feeding rabbits

    1 If the animal get stuck on rabbit it could be and issue for you or if you re home your snake and this prey type is no longer available.

    2 Size wise feeding a baby rabbit will be the equivalent of a small rat nutritionally their will be a big difference fatty animal with the bone structure of a baby versus leaner meat with a better bone structure and therefore more calcium (basically it would compare to feeding rat pups to Hognose instead of adult mice which is never recommended)
