Re: Petco shopping list

I doubt you need to feed rabbits to an Irian Jaya carpet. One to two jumbo rats at every feeding should be plenty...unless your rat provider is not actually giving you jumbo rats. Everyone's sizing varies a tiny bit, but a jumbo rat is usually about the size of an adult guinea pig or a bit larger, plus the tail.

I give my 7-8 foot long supertiger retic two XL rats (my provider is generous with sizing) at every feeding (2-3 weeks apart), for example.

I would honestly be concerned about feeding rabbits to a snake as naturally slender as a carpet python.

Thanks for the advice so two jumbos or two large rats instead?
