I personally feel that feeding smaller prey slightly more often (but not too often) is better.

The rabbits won't be too fatty - they're good nutrition - but they might still be a bit much for Cloud to handle on a regular basis. If you want to incorporate them into his diet, either wait til next year or feed him a rats regularly with a rabbit once every 3-4 months. Or you can give quail a try. Gio can tell you more about that, or you can read about that on JB's blog: http://deviantconstrictors.com/blog/...r-my-boas.html

There is nothing wrong with rabbits. The rabbit is not the issue. The overall size of the prey (no matter what it is) and the frequency of the feeding is what is important here. If you really like the rabbits and can get small ones, keep him on them! Just give your boy plenty of exercise and be careful not to give him something too large.
The rabbits I'm getting are babies of a similar size to the large rat I post before, so they are also smaller around than he is. Without the fur of course, being babies they have some fluffy fur!

I heard they were runny as well, which is actually my problem. lol Very rarely does he poop in his water dish, so I have to pick it up and it takes so long to expand EcoEarth for his gigantic enclosure I don't like doing big substrate changes often. >.> But, yeah, if they're not as runny as I've heard and they smell better I may go with a few every once in awhile. Because his rat poops smelled terrible, but with EcoEarth's wonderful ability to clear the air, you couldn't smell it immediately upon removal. Now the poop he had from that rabbit steeped nicely in his water dish and was TOXIC. I think all that fur was what did it, but I barely made it to the toilet with the bowl. XD
