I have a customer that switches his larger snakes back and forth from chicken (adult) to rabbit and he has a very healthy snake.

rabbits actually have higher nutritional density (and are about 80% protein) according to the chart I linked than even rats do, and the Vit ratios are all good as well

yes, they are very high in protien and very low in fat. Many breeders I know will switch thier females to chickens just before and during breeding season, and go for rabbits during the off season.

that's why I sell it all! rats, mice, rabbits, chickens. Sometimes guinea pigs and pigeons too!!
