You can order frozen rabbits I believe. I would never reccommend feeding live rabbits.. Theyre very aggressive and can do alot of damage to a snake. Even the big ones.

Then I would not suggest Rabbits.. even live rats are sketchy..
Never seen live chickens fed to a snake...

Just watch your snake because sometimes they may "kill" their prey, eat it.. regurgitate it because the prey isnt dead, and can attack your snake.

Just monitor the feedings.

Re: Birds for my boa

There is a fan club for her feedings already, there should be no problem in handling the capibara.

You see? You can have a normal conversation with me.

I would suggest stunning it, or a fresh killed rabbit instead..
In my own personal opinion I would not feed live rabbits..
They're messy too. they poop/pee themselves when they die/get squeezed

They are the world's largest rodents and favourite anaconda meal. They are an endangered species you can't buy as private. And I have no idea about y or i.

Not sure about the rabbit size but I believe most people do 10-15% of the snakes body weight, for your snakes age I would still be feeding 10-15% every 6-8 days. She's a very pretty boa.

The exist, I've got two or three in my freezer. There are breeds that will get more than double that size. Check out Flemish Giants.
