I dont have a python but I was wondering. Does anyone feed their big guys F/T chickens or turkeys from the grocery store???

Thanks Adrian

I've had to feed some of mine chickens but not ones form the grocery store they were full dressed chickens.. but for the most part I use rabbits or several XXL rats I would be curiuos as to what some keepers feed their really BIG burms......

We feed her 2 of Rodent pro's larges rabbits- and sometimes 2 or 3 of the largest quail. During the summer- there are a lot of livestock auctions- we can get baby pigs or goats for dirt cheap!!

WC Coons...cheap and a good cure for when you've gone out a million times without catching anything.

What do ya give for a pig or goat? My snake has just hit the big prey mark and I need to find livestock here in Mi. He's up to 2 ft. rabbits or similar. Time before he ate 3 guinea pigs and 2 rats.

I imagine the prices down here in "farm country" are a bit cheaper than way up in MI. We pay around 15 for a pig/goat- depends on season, and size. You also have to know where to look. We were getting them for 10$ but the man sold off everything and retired on Lake Powell- much better place I'm sure.
I don't know if you have auctions up there, thats where we usually go. There are also a few 'flea markets' that have livestock as well as flea market 'stuff'- good place to get large rabbits as well- we keep all our stuff for a while, make sure its got a few good diets down it, no parasites, etc...
