    Feed Rabbit question

    Hello,

    I'm going to be making a video of my boa eating. Most people would think this is nuts, but among my herper friends I'm sure you can all understand how awesome thi can be I'm going to film it in 4K on a white background.

    He currently eats medium sized rats, but to add to the awesomeness of the video I was thinking of using a rabbit instead. When I look online I see that baby 2-3 week old rabbits are the size of a large rat, which I was very suprised about. But, nonetheless....I was wondering if anyone who breeds/feeds rabbits would take a photo of a younger rabbit that is around 250g. I'm curious see see what it would look like - and also at how many weeks old are they that size. 1? 2?

    Thanks!

    I can take pictures for you when I get home of rabbits for size comparison. Rabbits will have more meat yield so you will want to keep that in mind when doing your comparisons.

    Here are 2 rabbit babies I have for comparison. I used an iPhone for the size reference, the larger one was born 4-21 and the smaller one was born 4-26. Let me know if you need any additional measurements or information for your project.

    Thanks so much! So I see this 4 week old rabbit is around 300g, if you were to guess, how much smaller would a 2 week rabbit be?

    Around mid to high 100g. It can vary depending on the amount of babies.
