Well, I didn't freeze it first. The poor snake seemed so hungry and was just scoping out his enclosure all morning looking for food. I went to the pet store today and picked out a rabbit for him. They took care of the dirty work for me, so we ended up with a freshly killed instead of F/T. I don't know the size, but I'm guessing maybe 3-4 pounds. It has left a visible lump, but not too big and definitely not as big as the last one! I dangled it, he grabbed. I gave it a nice nudge while he constricted and then when he was satisfied that it was really dead, he chomped on it. He seemed to get it down fairly easy and is happily digesting.
This bunny was also black vs the white ones I had been trying to feed. I don't know if it's a fluke, but I have ball pythons that seem to snub white mice. I don't know if it's smell or color, but they like the brown ones or the b/w white ones so much better. They'll grab a colored mouse immediately but kind of dance around a white one.
