i friend has a burmese python. and he is feeding it frozen and thawed and he was wondering what would the cheapest place he could get bulk frozen rabbits.

Cheapest place would be one of the online places try micedirect or one of the other site

Try Layne Labs for pricing. Always good quality.

Subscribe to mice direct for email deals, wait for the free shipping on 125 order or more, and then order as many as you can before they run out. Rince and repeat. Cheapest way to do it. I've been feeding my retics 2-4lb rabbits this way for about 6 bucks per rabbit! Only way to beat that is to simply by meat rabbits from a farm direct local if you have that option.

usually $5 a lb

my friend also wonders how often to feed them. his brother said to feed them ever 2 months ( i think is wrong)

Sounds like your friend needs to create a profile and that he may have dove into something he may not be ready for. :confusd:

How big and old is the snake? We cant give you an answer without more info.

Is this their first large snake?

I would say every 2 weeks but again i know little on the subject

Is this "friend" perhaps you, you joined the site for this and why couldnt your "friend" do it, youre saying "his brother says blah" which sound like you and your brother, i may be wrong but i am suspicious...

Cheapest would be to find a local meat rabbit breeder.

What often was the previous owner feeding? Surely he asked.
Being a rescue is the snake underweight or have any issues?
Why was it let go?
What is your friend keeping it in(type/size cage)?

Have you or your friend ever been told that for every 4 feet of snake you should have one person for handling? So a 12 foot snake should have 3 people to be safe.

It was very skinny.my friend has had it about a year and its gotten alot bigger. He has it in a 20 ft long x 5 ft wide and 3ft tall cage that he made out of plywood and there's a tile flooring he got it from an adoption website and they said you feed it every week.

So he has been feeding weekly?

At that size every 2 to 3 weeks should be good for a feeding schedule. This however depends on the size of food that can be acquired and thus offered. If all you can get are smaller foods then either more served per feeding or sooner feedings will be needed but if the food is larger then a less frequent feeding schedule may be needed. The snake may have his own idea of what it needs and go longer between meals though. I cant really pin down a certain amount of weeks without being there and knowing the snake but every 2-4 weeks should work find depending on the food offered. You also do not want to overfeed and make it fat.

Ok I will tell him that thanks

That's why I didn't bring it up. I seriously doubt that is what the snake is in.

But if it is I can not imagine cleaning it, correctly that is.

Dont be too harsh or make judgements, you have no idea if it his or his brothers and maybe you can think its a troll but dont post on the bloomin thread that you the the OP is lying about dimensions.
