step up from jumbo rats?
I'm currently feeding my largest snake, Stryker, jumbo rats since that's the largest I can find locally. He can easily eat two in a single feeding, though usually I've been keeping him to one a week. Vet said that's fine, Stryker's last weigh in showed him at about 23 pounds and I was told he's a healthy weight and size.
I'm curious what the recommended next step up would be. I was thinking he might be ready for rabbits, but I heard something about them being too lean and could actually starve the snake.
Only local place I can find for frozen rats at the moment is the chain stores, petco and petsmart. I'm planning on ordering online, but I have to make a large order due to shipping costs being ridiculous, so I want to make sure I'm getting the proper food.
Thanks in advance.
