Marcia,



I still think the added benefit would be neglible. You'd be better off just feeding a male, since he would be packing more muscle and bone. I was suggesting appropriately sized rabbits, not lactating ones, just plain old rabbits have nearly twice the quantity of calcium to offer per pound (or gram, whatever) than rats. The protein content of both is comparable, but the rabbit is lower in fat by a long shot. I feed 2.5-3lb rabbits to my big boa girls (6-7.5 feet) so I'm sure that's appropriate for a juvie burm as well.
