Re: Chickens are sooo messy!
I found this video on Youtube
Humane slaughter of chicken - YouTube
Should I just do it like that?

I was convinced you were going to say to pick up the table and smash the chicken with it.

Re: Chickens are sooo messy!
I tried feeding him a rat today, was his first time eating since January, and he took it! Does anyone know if it'll be alright to feed him 2 large rats a week as opposed to a 2 lb chicken every 2-3 weeks? Rats are also not messy at all, so that's even better!

I will try to breed my own rabbits when we move into a new home, which will be in about a year. Do you think it'll be alright if I gave him 2-3 large rats until then weekly?
@deadly, No, I never removed the feathers of the live chickens. It's mean, and wouldn't want to make stuff messier than they were

Re: Chickens are sooo messy!
Why feed live?
Also, rats will be fine but at the point when they are eating meals that size, I'd swap down to a bi-weekly feeding.

Re: Chickens are sooo messy!
I used to have an awesome supplier, fed rabbits to my ball pythons.. (small ones ofc, mostly fuzzy/hopper rabbits)
Most people I know with boa constrictors feed them rabbits.

Re: Chickens are sooo messy!
Yes. Smaller rabbits but yes. Very healthy choice as well. I even feed the odd one to my female carpet. I haven't found a source I like yet but get the occational few at expos.
