I occasionally use a product called ReptiLinks, which is ground whole prey in a sausage casing, to supplement the normal diet of frozen/thaw rodents. I offer the rabbit flavor, which is basically a whole rabbit, bones and all, (minus the fur) put through a meat grinder. They're convenient and equivalent in price to similarly-sized rodents, but a little more nutrient-dense and more quickly digested because they're already ground up.
They're good for putting weight back on after breeding season and for adding a little dietary variety. The creators of the product have used them as an exclusive food for many species of reptile for years with no ill effects, so I figure adding them to snakes' diets in addition to rodents can't be harmful.
