hey i was just wondering about how long do retics get in captivty(i heard like 25 ft)

and about how wide around,

how much are they eating at that point,

and how do your handel something that big
do you feed it ints cage or know

thanks for your help
i migh get one like when im older so i was just asking

thanks

As far as size, it depends on how you take care of it and the locality of the animal, but it could be anywher from 6-10 feet for a dwarf to well over 20 feet(I think Fluffy is about 24 feet and 310 pounds, maybe more by now). Foodwise, anything from large rabbits to young pigs and goats for the true giants. A couple years ago somebody posted photos of a big retic eating a 40-50 pound piglet.

sound a lil more my speed, well maybe when i get out of college il get a retic not dwarft, but where do your get pigs and goats from

thanks
