What size prey do you all feed your bigger burms?

My biggest is a 13ft male that I feed small rabbits.

These run anywhere from 1-1.75lbs.

He eats 4 of these approx every two weeks. Or the equivalent of about 6lbs of food. He seems to struggle with the size of them, but he obviously needs bigger prey items.

The next size rabbits are 2-4lbs. I just can't see him eating a rabbit that big.

Any opinions before I order more rabbits?

All my other guys eat either the XXXL rats, or the 1lb rabbits.

This male eats like a pig!

I'll probably order all smalls again, then throw in a med rabbit or two. If he eats the larger rabbit, then I've answered my own question.
