I got an adult female that had only been eating rats - she would take 3-4 jumbos every 10-14 days - and it took months to get her onto rabbits. Since a one pound(ish) jumbo rat is $5 but the same size rabbit was only $2 you can see why I'd want her to switch!
Good idea. Yeah I was feeding him quails and chicks too and Caesar the garbage can was eating anything that got near him when he was hungry including me probably haha. The gal I get all my feeders from I don't think has really small rabbits. I think the smallest she has is 1 lb+. I'll probably end having to wait or i'll have to ask on meat rabbit FB page for anyone near me. He has such a crazy food drive though, I couldn't see him turning down any food haha. He's finally quiet though after that large rat. First time in weeks I've seen him completely quiet and content and not tracking me around the cage. Guess he really did need an upsize in food. Owning a retic is like learning how to care for snakes all over again as it does seem stuff that pertains to boas goes out the window with retics haha.
