Rabbit size?

Ok so I have a huge normal female she around 9ft weighs 52 pounds. Was thinking of switch her to rabbits as she eats the biggest rats I can get every three week and they seem like just a snack lol. Thanks for any opinions you have.

9 ft and 52 lbs? I haven't seen a BCI that big in a long time. The weight sounds a little high (when I kept them, burms were only around 30 lbs at 9 ft)...I know one of those big boas I'd seen was said to be #50; but I don't think they'd actually weighed him. Still, I'd probably think more along the lines of maintenance rather than increasing the prey size. There's nothing wrong with feeding rabbits if you have a reliable source with good prices; though.

Yes I agree I just got her. I plan too feed monthly but wasn't sure if I should stick with rats or put her on rabbits? Will one jumbo rat monthly suffice?

I've fed rabbits before to my largest boas (7-8ft), I have no idea how much they weigh, maybe 15-20lbs as a guess? I fed one small rabbit, this was years ago, I'm sorry I don't recall the weight, maybe 1lb size? About the size of 2-3 jumbo rats put together. That one rabbit would make them swell huge and they'd be good for 1-1/2 - 2 months. I never found a good supplier, the prices I paid were very high, so I switched back to rats. Now they get 2 jumbos every month or so.

Thanks April for your input. I think I will just stick with rats as well. I've been digging around and two jumbo rats are still cheaper than one rabbit of. Ok comparable size.
