Oh yes Suzanne, they do. When I was raising rabbits at the farm in
Maryland, I routinely got calls to raise them to feed snakes. My son
was so upset at that...I was disgusted, and have never been so sorry
to hear that folks still do that. Since then I always asked for what
reason someone wants a baby anything....if somebody hesitates they
don't get directions to where I am.

society with that name and she is snow white like a white lotus
blossom...sort of fits!)
