What do you feed the "big ones"?

What do you feed the big snakes that get to big for rats? I know rabbits come next but is their any other substitute that people feed b.c rabbits arn't avaible? Just a question i have been wondering.

The goat comment brought back memories of the goat regurge story.

ok so if you cant get these animals then you shouldnt be buying a big snake right? Would it be possible just to feed like 10 rats at a time for a large snake that would take down a pig?

Bchildress will become famous soon enoughBchildress will become famous soon enough

Anything is possible but I wouldnt advise that.... Should feed them a prey item eqaul to size of there girth at the largest point and yes if you cant get rabbits, pigs I wouldnt advise you getting a Large Snake, But all the online feeder places like rodentpro Have rabbits that I have seen
