I'm wrestling with this myself. My 12ft male has a history of not being a strong eater, so I'm trying to redo a plan for him. He was fed once a month by his previous owner and I'm not sure of the size of the bunny. His first feed with me was a 5-6 # rabbit and he struggled a bit to get it down. I offered him a second one that size 3 weeks later and he refused it. He has fed successfully with me at two week intervals with one freshly killed smaller rabbit that seems to be about 3 pounds. He also seems to be getting more active at 2 weeks after feeding, so I'm hoping he's getting an appetite. I just ordered XXL guinea pigs from RodentPro so I'll see how those will do. They should arrive this week and he's ready to eat...I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll start with two of those and then move up. Right now I'm paying $10-12 per rabbit, so I'd like to save a bit of money if I can. More importantly, I'd like to find something he will eat consistently.
