i was woundering what everyones thoughts were on feeding F/T Rabbits or F/T Guinea pigs? advantages or disadvantages of one or the other? Ive always fed rabbits to my large boids but have noticed guinea pigs are alot cheaper.

Thanks

Like to feed both. I feed my large and medium breeder sized female boas guinea pigs a couple of months before breeding season. I feel the higher fat content in the pigs helps them reproduce. I will feed rabbits or rats the rest of the year. I also feed guinea pigs to females that just gave birth. It seems to get their body weight on faster than rabbits or rats. A diet wholly in Guinea Pigs probably isn't the best since they are higher in fat content. I wouldn't feed them to males, I don't feed them to males only to my females. They serve their purpose.

ok thanks, thats really the kinda info i was really interested in, my burm that i have showing in that pic is a rescue and in my mind she can gain atleast 10lbs, she's about 11' if not longer and only 35lbs and rabbits dont seem to be doing the trick for her
