well i have two rabits and are breeding as we speak will it be ok to feed their babys to my ball pythons

also do balll pythons have difrent colored tongues mine has a purple tongue

I see no reason why ball pythons couldn't eat rabbits...

but they'd have to be "pinky" rabbits,
and you better hope they don't take preference to them...otherewise you'll need a constant supply of "rabbit pink".

Sure...you could feed rabbits...but keeping supply up with demand could get pretty expensive fairly quick. They aren't as easy to find as rats, mice, and some of the more "common" prey are, so if your rabbits aren't doing the hibbity-dibbity often enough you may have trouble finding food...and if you do (most likely, it'll be frozen feeders) you'll end up having to pay shipping and then store them in the freezer.

Then you run into the problem of "what if they will only eat live or fresh killed rabbits?" what will you do with a bunch of frozen baby rabbits? Rats your friends will think are gross...but, baby rabbits in your freezer? Now THAT inspires fear in folks.

Better idea...let your rabbit(s) give birth and then sell the babies when they are weaned to PAY for your rats or mice. You might even be able to work a deal out with the manager or owner of a local pet store where you give him 1 weaned rabbit for every 2 or 3 rats...trust me even with this deal YOU are getting the short end of the stick and he'll know it. Rabbits around here sell for at least $20-$30 a piece...even a large rat is only $6.

So...do the math and make an offer. Or post a classified. Either way...you win.

You probably want to seperate your two darling bunnies now, or get the male neutered, unless you want massive amounts of baby bunnies. The male can and will breed the female so much she dies, although I believe rabbits can reabsorb litters before they're born. Either way, its a bit unfair to the lady rabbit to be stuck in there with an unfixed male all the time.
I know a few people who have male rabbits, and it cost them about 60 bucks to get them fixed. I figure that's probably cheaper than spaying the female.

My ball has a purple tongue too.
