Ok, here's Ruari eating a 2lb 4 week old bunny. Normally he gets a 1.5lber, but this 4week old was a FATTY! LoL.

Enjoy!

Awwwwww!!!! Bunny Rabbit!!!!!!!! :crying:

LOL awww bunny rabbit be darned Robin! I get those from a meat rabbit breeder that sells to top class restaurants....darn Rauri is getting the best bunny money can buy! LOL

Hey Jo! If I come live at Camp, will you feed me the best lobster and crab money can buy?? lol

Nice pics, Becky.. and Jo, I assume you were the photographer. :) Maybe in three or four years... I'm going to do my level best to stay focused on BP's for the next three or four years... THEN maybe a BCI or BCC.... or Burm.. see, I can't even make up my mind, I'll just stick with BP's :)

Thank Ken, I think I'm getting the hang of the "digital" age in cams. It's really nice to take a pic and see it right away or check the quality. Mike was on feed watch so I got to be Rauri's photographer LOL.

I do have to say after having Rauri these past months, that I'm in love with BCI's. A very nice larger snake but not the vast size of burms or retics to deal with (for us that size of snake is not something we feel we could handle at this point anyway).

Rauri is fascinating to watch eating. He seems to use that one big coil directly in front of his face to position and elongate his prey, dragging it through that tight coil as he consumes. I don't know if this is the norm for BCI's or any big snakes with larger prey, but it's interesting to watch the efficiency of nature at work.

Yeah, they seem to like to do that. lol

WOW, that is a BIG bunny...well it looks like it anyway...i bet he had fun:P

wow, that's a big bunny!

does he get his "recycling bunnies" badge? since he's turning bunnies into fertilizer?

LOL

Perfect!!

LOL never thought of a "recycling bunnies badge"! I love it!

Ken, you can come live at Camp Hiss ~n~ Slither but you get to do Rauri's dump duty and the ever popular "hold Brannagh whilst I clean her cage" duty LOL.

Actually that photo is a little misleading as the bunny is not only hunched over but also is wearing it's winter coat (these are after all meat rabbits raised in a barn not your average pet bunny living in a heated house). The breeder showed me how to better judge the realistic size by stretching the bunny out fully and we also go by it's skull size as that's different than how rats are built. We're finding that about a 4 week old bunny twice per month seems just right for Rauri, though the meat breeder grabbed the bigest of the litter this time, so a bit more chubby than usual. Seems the meat rabbit breeder is becoming a snake fanatic by association LOL.

okay i have a question... does the snake digest the fur? actually i guess he must... since i didn't see any hair in dexter's one poo he's had since he moved in here.

I've always assumed they do as I've yet to see anything in any of the snake's feces (not that I pick it apart or anything) but nothing obvious. Seems if their digestion can break down bone and teeth, then fur wouldn't be an issue but hopefully someone with tons more knowledge will chime in on this.

Haha! If anyone hasn't noticed, Ruari has a hockey number. :) He's the goalie!
