I feed the occasional rabbit to my largest female ball, in about the 1-3lb rabbit range... Small yes, but they have really fattened her up better then the rats do. The rabbits seem to be a bit more meaty then the rats. And if I had the room to breed rabbits I would do so in a heartbeat! I'd invest in 1.3 good French Lops (does reach 14 lbs minimum). Breed each 3 weeks apart, 29-31 days gestation and the babies would be bigger then colossal rats in a month... Whack and freeze what you don't use and/or sell off the rest. Plus their "pinks" would be bigger and fatter in substance then adult mice. So if one had a younger problem feeder (live only to that point, or just needs the stimulation after a fast, or whatever) you'd run a much lesser risk of oh say - An adult mouse or even small rat nailing your snake. Anywho, thats just my opinion
