So, Jasper, our adopted 10 year old male BP had three rats last week. He's decided he's still hungry! More food is actually arriving tomorrow...we got him a nice frozen rabbit, and a few guinea pigs to try! And more rats, for him and everyone. BUT in the meantime, I think he thinks we're starving him. He's been roaming around each night, and a couple of nights hissing randomly *lol*
Well, the other night Chocobo, our cockatiel decided to hop over and see what the fuss was about. She apparently did not realize a huge snake was in that tank. She watched, and watched, and Jasper crept closer, and closer....He never did strike (I actually made her move before he could try and hurt himself) but she just sat there watching him...finally realizing he was there, and then just continued to sit there...but with her wings out and threatening him! Poor Jasper....after we moved Chocobo, he looked around and around...he missed his meal. The bird is such a tease!
a rabbit for a BP? or do you mean a rabbit pinky? a small rabbit is about the size of a XXXL rat and most bp just get feed large rats when they are adults and most breeders i know dont give there bp anything bigger then a med rat.
Gotta love how males act during breeding season. Seeing an adult corn snake trying to figure out the right angle to get out of 1/4" ventilation holes for hours to get at a female... LOLZ. I haven't seen that behavior in a while but it sure is something to behold. I don't know whether to feel sorry for them having to be patient for pairing or die laughing.

I would suggest to not feed your BP Rabbits or Guinea pigs. They don't need 3 rats a week or more either. If you feed him anything other than rats are you prepared with him to get hooked on Guinea pigs and not want rats any more? Just because your Bp is out and active doesn't mean he wants/needs more food.
Those pics are really funny! Not sure I'd let my cockatiel anywhere near my snakes though! Or my hamster for that matter. But it sure does make for funny pics!! Kind of reminds me of that video someone posted a few days ago of a woman who's tree python got into the finch cage and ate one lol

who is that women? i wouldn't be like smiling and laughing that i'm such a failure. "like my snakes totally escape and im usually good at finding them but, i couldnt find it.....luckily i found it in the bird cage. it totally ate one of my other pets, like omg isn't that funny??" in fact, she gives it kudos for finding a way to escape and eat another pet.
I think it's more of it's funny because there's nothing she can do about that missing bird now so it's more of a "lol, I failed" and "my snake is really clever" sort of thing. But the seriousness of the situation is definitely overlooked. It's still quite amusing that she's laughing about it in some odd way

I love how instead of removing the snake from a situation where it could get hurt or eat another of her birds she instead goes to get the video camera and makes a film about it instead

Oh come on now. Anyone who has kept multiple snakes in multiple enclosures has had an escape or two. They have so much time to find a way out and are so good at it! I thought it was pretty funny too. I mean, you always worry that when a snake gets out its going to get inside a wall and youll never find it. Here the thing is sitting perched big as you please inside another cage. That's funny!

looks like that snake had its fill already and was taking a nap,i think if it was awake and looking for another meal she would not be filming and trying to get it out.
