I've been feeding my 10 3/4 foot burmese 2 rabbits that are around 4 1/2 pounds each. What size rabbits should do you recommend that I order for my next shipment when these run out in a few months?

....within reason, of course. I feed my pythons rabbits as large as they can comfortably get down, or a combination of huge rabbits to make a "max meal". My 11 foot females get 8 to 10 pound rabbits, and 12 pounders when I have them. I recently posted as to why I feel larger meals are better, but I forget which thread it is in so I will say it again. Larger meals offer MORE nutrition as the larger the prey animal is, the less the percentage of skin and fur is. This is geometically less. Example: Four 2 pound rabbits would have about 500% more skin and fur area than an 8 pound rabbit would have. And then there is the advantage of having to kill fewer animals to sustain your snakes, should you be an all around animal lover like I am. I personally prefer to have to kill fewer animals for my snakes if I can help it. But that's just me.
