Interesting. I guess the question is, how much IS due to nutrition? Ajja is only slightly less than 3.5 feet at less than 2yrs old. My scale is dead the moment, but she's easily >2.5in in diameter. She gets 4 to 5 mice per meal, but that's mainly because we play with her food. I wonder what would happen...

I switched from live to F/T by "brain scenting." Easiest thing in the world. If I switch to rats, I plan to do the same thing. I'd bet rats to rabbits would work too. I swear, it's magic!
