burm wont eat rabbits

[surnamemarc]

shes a 10 foot burm, shes been eating 3-4 jumbo rats each time i fed her.

i tried switching her to rabbits and she wont touch them, infact the snake was curled up and the bunny was sleeping inside the coil.

i tried scenting it with a rat, didnt work! Any ideas?

Just stop feeding rats and only offer rabbits; although doing that youll need to be extremely careful around her untill she starts eating again, when they're hungry even a tiny movement can trigger a feeding responce. When you say the rabbit was sleeping in her coils are you saying it was alive? That is definatly not something I would recommend, live food left with the snake can harm or even kill the snake, and you would rather not want the burm to get used to going after moving targets. Dont touch live, stick to thawed, and just be persistant.

I had this problem with my burm, rub a dead rat all over the head of the rabbit, feed the snake the rat after that feed your snake the rabbit, it will work for sure, mine will eat rabbits no problem now and he is like 18 feet long and over 200 pounds, let me know how it goes ight! and i don t think anything is wrong with feeding live i do all the time, at a certain size it is necessary too feed dead food though!
