What do your adults eat?

I can't believe I didn't really think about this before, but you know the general rule "feed a snake a meal that is 1-1.5 times the size of it's thickest part"? Well, since bloods get so thick, what do you feed them once they reach adulthood? Just big rats? I know this may sound dumb, and I'm sorry, but I was just thinking about if that rule applies to bloods or not. Will I ever need to feed mine a small rabbit or something (of course I mean once she becomes an adult)?

Thanks,
Jennifer

2-3 lb rabbits sounds perfectly reasonable for a big adult blood.

Well, that about answers my question then. Thanks guys.

Oh yeah, was it hard switching from rats to rabbits, or do they even seem to like rabbits better?

How large is your black blood? I have a male, so I doubt he'll ever get big enough to warant feeding him rabbits.
