Buremese Pythons

[Gareth]

HI,

I got a 1 yr old burmese python that is 7 foot 5inches and he just started eating 3lb rabbits but he wont eat anything unless you give him a day old chick the when he has finished the chick i have to put the other food item in his mouth, he will not eat it else i've had to do this since november last yr when i had him, he was only 2 foot 2, should i be concerned or just carry on also in one of the other forums somone asked about feeding there burm birds i thought burms ate birds in the wild. i have fed my burm on several different kinds of birds including pigeons and he is fine also is he a good size for a 1yr old male?

Thanks Gareth.
