I have to disagree with you on this Rob.



First, I believe that I have shown already (earlier post) that I am quite willing to pay the price (literally, 'financially') for owning a Burmese python.



I agree that there may be no 'cheap' way, but I believe there must be a cheaper way. And just that has been suggested already in response to my question (e.g., breeding my own rabbits, or finding a local farmer or breeder). I'm certainly not going to sit back and accept Rodentpro as the sole source of frozen rabbit feeders (to date, I also use Rodentpro - whom I have been very happy with, as I understand their prices are good and they themselves are bound to the high cost of shipping). After all, it would just be lazy and ignorant of me to not at least try to find an alternative.



My orders from Rodentpro are full-box orders and that just doesn't help much. There are a couple of rabbit farms here in Massachusetts that I'm going to look into. I'm also considering breeding my own rabbits during the summer, perhaps enough to last through the winter, etc. I don't really anticipate much of a problem with this issue, I was just trying to find out if anyone here already knew of a good place I could look into as I research my options.



I appreciate your cautions about owning these great animals, but I want to assure you that there are at least a few of us out there that can and do take care of these animals well. Please try to understand that I make every effort to be one of the few who does properly care for his Burmese python.

>>...own a burm. There are no cheap ways unless you plan to breed your own rabbits which is a major pain. I get my rabbits from Rodentpro.com and feel that their prices are very good (even with the high cost of shipping). I purchase in bulk so I don't feel the hit quite as bad but unless you are willing to shell out a lot of money to feed your big snakes, folks should stick with smaller species (not saying this applies to you but just a general statement).
