Nope, boa constrictors are garbage disposals. Which is both good and bad, they're easy to feed, but that means it's easy for people to overfeed them.

I wouldn't go to just rabbits, I'd still give rats every other feeding. Rabbits are nutrient-dense and even though they're lean on fat, they can still get chubby on them very quickly. If you fed just rabbits I'd go more to every 6-8 weeks. I only feed my rabbits as often as I do because I try to keep them about equal to rat size, and I feed a rat every other feeding. I don't start them on rabbits until they're at least big enough to eat rabbits that are fully mobile so they're either weaned or close to it, so 6'+.
