Sure...you could feed rabbits...but keeping supply up with demand could get pretty expensive fairly quick. They aren't as easy to find as rats, mice, and some of the more "common" prey are, so if your rabbits aren't doing the hibbity-dibbity often enough you may have trouble finding food...and if you do (most likely, it'll be frozen feeders) you'll end up having to pay shipping and then store them in the freezer.

Then you run into the problem of "what if they will only eat live or fresh killed rabbits?" what will you do with a bunch of frozen baby rabbits? Rats your friends will think are gross...but, baby rabbits in your freezer? Now THAT inspires fear in folks.

Better idea...let your rabbit(s) give birth and then sell the babies when they are weaned to PAY for your rats or mice. You might even be able to work a deal out with the manager or owner of a local pet store where you give him 1 weaned rabbit for every 2 or 3 rats...trust me even with this deal YOU are getting the short end of the stick and he'll know it. Rabbits around here sell for at least $20-$30 a piece...even a large rat is only $6.

So...do the math and make an offer. Or post a classified. Either way...you win.
