No pigs would not be better, pigs are full of fat. Stillborn pigs are not as good a food source as prey items that have been eating and gaining muscle for months such as adult rabbits. As far as obesity you have to use common sense, if I gave one of my snakes an adult goat I would not give that snake another meal for months. Also feeding pigs can be risky, pigs rot very fast and more than a handful of retic owners have either lost animals or had animals that got sick from feeding them a bad supply of pigs.
