I have a four foot long, 6.5 month old burm that is pounding down 2 med. rats a week with great ease. The rats barely even leave a lump now. I was kind of curious as to whether or not I could start feeding her rabbits. I kind of want to start her on rabbits early and would like a little diversity in her diet. What weight/age rabbit could she handle? Or what age/weight rabbit would be equivelant to something like a large rat?

Hey buddy, long time no see.
Yeah, your girl can handle baby rabbits. Heck, I give rabbit pinkies to some of my baby pythons. Try a half pound rabbit to start and see how she handles it and how large the lump is. A burmese can usually handle a meal large enough to fill the inner third of their body. Let us all know how it goes.
