Can you get baby rabbits? That is what I'm going to start feeding my retic once I have some more and the little guy starts eating.

Thanks for your answer, you see the problem is that they are not big enuff for baby rabbits, but i have already fed a chick to one of them and didnt seem to have any trouble digesting it, i read in a book that in Thailand mice are not easy to find, so they fed them chicks, another idea i have is to feed several mice ( i cnt get rats but mice is no problem) and a n ocacional chick till they are big enuff for baby rabbits.
thanks for your answer

ummm. It would have to be a runt or something to be unable to eat a baby rabbit. I'm sure you think I am talking about a small rabbit. I'm talking about a pinky rabbit. Just born. Baby rabbits are not much bigger than a mouse. I think most chicks would be a lil. bigger if not just the same size. Are pinky rabbits available there?

Fresh, healthy chickens are a suitable diet for these snakes.
One of the Burmese pythons I raised up to over 200 pounds ate almost solely chickens as an adult snake.

Ever get the feeling that no one is listening? 
I agree that a chicken diet is great. I have two retics that have been raised almost exclusively on chickens and two young Burmese that have been fed that way also. The hatchling Burmese that I am keeping from my clutch have been started on quail. Chickens are not only a great variation to a routine rodent/rabbit diet, they are also a great staple diet as well. And if anyone is reading this don't refreeze your chickens and never buy supermarket chickens for your snakes.
