I cannot answer the first question either, but I may have a litte insight to the feeding of rabbits question. I have read on another forum, and I believe on here as well that you can get a p/k rat and squeeze the belly a little till a drop of piss comes out. Put that drop of piss on the rabbit near its 'organs'. Then take the p/k rat again and open it's mouth, put the open mouth over the nose of the rabbit and then try and feed the rabbit. Putting the rat over the nose allows for some of the saliva from the rat to get into the nose of the p/k rabbit. Before you feed the burm the rabbit, remove the rat from the nose, in case you needed me to tell you that. I would suggest just trying to feed that rabbit straight to the burm first before you try scenting. If the burm has a strong feeding response, like most burms do. You should not have a problem getting him/her to switch to rabbit. I did to have a problem switching a friend of mines female. Very simple, throw it in and watch her eat it. Very easy.



Good luck to ya,

Jason
