a lot will depend on what is available to you. for most, obtaining commercially raised rabbits is the best choice for feeding large burms. I would not recommend chickens as a primary food source (plus, you will find that a burm fed a diet high in chicken tend to have loose, runny and very stinky stools). I have one rather large burm that still refuses everything except for rats....so she gets LOTS of rats (but since I get many donated, it isn't that big of a deal). Piglets, small goats, etc. can all be used as a food source but unless you live near a farm, this may not be a viable option.
