Well, today I fed Kimba her first rabbit... I went to the flea market, to a pet store, and found a small one, maybe a month old or so...not sure. Although it was smaller than her usual meal, I wanted to try. She didnt strike at it or anything... she only tossed one coil around its neck and squeezed... a few seconds later it stopped moving, and she let go and went back to her hide...
I made sure she wanted it by dangling it in front of her and she grabbed it and about 5 minutes later started eating.
I'll buy her a jumbo rat tomorrow, when I get the food for the rest of the kids...

Congrats, I am still trying to get one of my females to take rabbits. She is almost 9' and still insists on eating rats. Hopefully someday soon she realizes that rabbits are good too. Todd
