For those that post..."I am thinking about getting a burm.."
The food bill for one month, for one burm...
$79.45
This should last me through the middle of April.
About 5 weeks.
This is for a juvenile, 9ft, and about 50lbs.

geeze...i'd find another place to get food...it costs me about 30 bucks a month to feed my male and female,both are over 10ft

RodentPro Rabbits...that cost includes shipping.
Where do you get a months worth of bunnies for $30???

Wow, 50 lbs at 9 foot?? Your male must be VERY fat, I have a male a little under 9, more like 8, and he weighs about 17-20 lbs and has awesome body mass, my female at 13 foot weighs 60-65 and looks a little fat to me, the vet says they ARE too fat haha.

A 13' female only weighing 65 pounds is anything but fat. If I was to honastly say I would say that it is skinny. My 13' female is pushing 100 pounds and is far from fat. She is solid and very healthy. Todd

Thanks for the insight. Looking back I see how I may have sounded like a little kid wanting something "cool" but that's really not the case. I'll give you an example. You can read all the care sheets on a sistrurus that you want. They'll never say that they don't hook well and to use two hooks. That's something expierence teaches you. And better to find out before hand and be ready than to have him get off the hook and become a pain in the ***. Follow me? I really appreciate all the responces I've gotten on the subject as well.

i get em local. I would raise my own before i bought rabbits online

Agreed on that, my rabbit bill for my anacondas would be around $35-40 a month, I get mine locally also, and rabbits are like $4 from 1-3 lbs and then from like every pound higher they just add a dollar, but my biggest conda is only up to 3-4lbs so...
