Cloud, Colombian BCI

[Evenstar]

I agree, Cloud looks much better in the newer pics. Doolittle and Evenstar, those are really great examples of lean boas. I think there is some debate on rabbits, and I have caught wind of a few people saying the fat content is less than rats. There could be some merit to feeding a rabbit equivalent.

I think if Cloud exercises enough and goes a month without food he should do just fine.

I also enjoy seeing pictures so keep posting them!

I don't think there's anything wrong with rabbits at all. In fact, they probably do have a better nutritional content than rats, strictly speaking. It's just that small rabbits that are about the same size as large rats are somewhat hard to find and can be expensive. It is also pretty easy to overfeed your boa anyway - but even easier when they are on rabbits.

This is one reason why I want to incorporate quail in my boas' diets like you've done, Gio. I want them to have better nutrition than rats alone can give, but still not have to move to rabbits.


**By the way, I'm in the process of putting together a collection thread with updated pics on all my guys. Look for it later tonight....
