Just curious though, what kind of pythons are they? And what size/weight? |

the general pet rabbit has far too much fur & less meat

It is the size of the feed rather than the potential size of the adult animal that really matters...
Reptisas - I know bugger all about the breeds of rabbits - however, as Dragon Lady has said, a breed of rabbit bred for meat and consumption is likely going to be a lot better quality than a pet rabbit...
