I lean out the meals by feeding chicken/turkey necks with the rats. They're all bone & muscle. Strangely, the BHP's prefer them to the rats.

I know rabbits are pretty lean, but none of my big snakes are really big enough to take an adult, so that would mean I would be feeding younger rabbits (good fat and protein levels, but a low dense mass %% on younger rabbits). Foul is not really an option due to the fat levels..
