That place sounds like a ripoff of Matts business. They pretty much cut and pasted Matts complete section on feeder pigs, not to mention those prices are insane compared to what Matt charges.

If you want pigs then you have to go with the most respected pig supplier for retic keepers across the country

Have you tried finding a local rabbit breeder or rabbit meat supplier? Sometimes the breeders will have stock they need to cull out or just go straight to a commercial rabbit breeder and buy whole carcasses. Here's some places to get started...
List of rabbit meat dealers:
Rudolph's Rabbit Ranch - List of Meat Rabbit Breeders in the United States of America
Commercial Rabbit Industries
I personally wanted to do this a while back because paying $10 a pop for a 2-3 lb rabbit at the local reptile supply store was getting rather pricey. As of right now, I haven't had a chance to find a good place so the big boas just get 2 xl rats. Good luck, I hope you find something!

Also...if there is a rural area within driving distance, there's a good chance that there is a county fairgrounds nearby...and if there is, there's a good chance that they have occasional livestock auctions. It's a good time/place to go load up on rabbits, chicks, quail, pigs etc.

I've been looking to try a new rodent supplier as well. RodentPro has good prices, but I feel the consistency of their products is often poor. Check out this little spreadsheet I made for the most common rodent suppliers. This is medium rats.

I've ordered from both and the Mouse Factory's rats are a little under weight. However, the quality of the rats makes it well worth it.
